What do to when it's dry, really dry

When water levels are this low, a heavy downpour isn’t the answer.

The ground is too thirsty.

And it will lead to damaging floods.

So why do we think there’s a simple tap-turn to make good our exhausted dryness?

Instead, let’s search for sources of gentle rain to refill our drained souls.

And then share them with each other.

~ The lake is the lowest it has ever been at this time of year. Yes, this is a symptom of how the climate ‘in our back yard’ is changing. And yes, we should be concerned.
