This is probably not scientific, but it is about water, its shortage and worth a :-).

During the 10 years drought in my state of Victoria the government went ahead to construct a massive desalination plant to supply Melbourne's water needs until 2100. Yesterday we had more rain in one day than we usually have in all of June, and this followed a wet spring, summer and autumn.

Yesterday water was being pumped OUT of the not quite finished plant. It had been flooded by RAIN!

Whilst we are all mocking happily however, (who doesn't like to see our politicians squirm a bit?), at least, in the next drought, we will not have to be sorry we did not build the plant when we had the chance!
