  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

        True but with planning you can make it work. Instead of not watering at all you can water 2 days a week.

        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.

    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.

  Little known fact that modern pipes can summon water out of nothing

    There are the centuries old rock structures that extract moisture from the air via condensation though. Maybe they have some of those?
