No amount of infrastructure fixes a drought lmao
Yes they do. At least they're working on it, like more and bigger basins, less waste and spilage, better throughput, etc.
And then you get a drought that lasts longer than your infrastructure is able to handle and you're still fucked
There has always been a margin for failure, but the margins need to change with climate change and that is something they're working on all the time. At least where i live.
True but with planning you can make it work. Instead of not watering at all you can water 2 days a week.
It can help significantly. Having a big reservoir that can hold water during dry years and then collect water during wet years is really good. It is expensive and requires land and infrastructure but it can make it possible to not need water restrictions during dry times.
