We're in a drought V.

You can clearly see that central and southern TX is in a D4 - extreme drought. http://www.drought.unl.edu/dm/DM_state.htm?TX,S
My little city, Lago Vista, just declared water rationing like Austin city. Understandable. Lake Travis looks like a river and includes islands. Pretty soon it will look like a creek. We aren't expecting El Nino to help until October.
My backyard looks like the summer hills of California. Golden. My front is all river rocks; so no problem there. Rosemary and lantana are very drought tolerant and deer tolerant. The TX purple sage bush is very drought tolerant also. The golf course, across the street, is not.
Poor little Liberty Hill told their residents no more outside watering at all; not even by hand. They say they have only a few feet of water left in their barrels. I think they get it from wells. They are trying to buy water; but no one has any. Just imagine the value of their homes now. Population 500.
LCRA has sold too much. Round Rock built too much residences; and made a deal with LCRA for much more water.
Not a pretty picture.

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,455,434That's what I'm afraid of Trap. California is already in trouble. They have been building ocean desalination plants. Now, they can't afford it. Issuing IOUs.
My sister, in Atlanta, says they are back to normal, somewhat. Remember that last year they only had several months before the Lake Hartwell reservoir emptied. Then they had rains finally.
I think things will change, at least temporarily, when El Nino returns. That will cause the jet stream to move further south across central TX. That should bring rains; but will also push hurricanes toward the east. Unfortunately this won't occur until October. Even this is unpredictable.
I really think a huge problem is that the population tends to coagulate. They center in large cities that cannot handle the infrastructure. Los Angeles, NYC, Atlanta, Houston, etc.
This is an unwelcome future.

We've had several years of drought conditions on the front range. This year the skies opened up starting in late April and we've been under water.
This city has also very poorly planned it water usage. At the same time grew excessively. It's 50 year water planning went out the window a couple years ago. The unfortunate thing is, or fortunate depending on how one looks at it, is this current rain will give everyone the sense that every is ok now. And things will go back to abnormal, instead of drought conditions. Until the next time which could be next winter or spring for all we know.
As Trapper said, welcome to the future.

This is a reply to # 1,455,430Sure is. At least we save water by not having to flush the toilets since everything evaporates before it even gets to the commode.
Dogs are amazing, the labrador seems unaffected, still runs great like its nothing. Dogs have a lot higher pain threshold than people it seems.

This is a reply to # 1,455,430The monsoon is late, the wells are running dry and in the teeming city of Bhopal, water supply is now a deadly issue. Gethin Chamberlain reports
It was a little after 8pm when the water started flowing through the pipe running beneath the dirt streets of Bhopal's Sanjay Nagar slum. After days without a drop of water, the Malviya family were the first to reach the hole they had drilled in the pipe, filling what containers they had as quickly as they could. Within minutes, three of them were dead, hacked to death by angry neighbours who accused them of stealing water.
In Bhopal, and across much of northern India, a late monsoon and the driest June for 83 years are exacerbating the effects of a widespread drought and setting neighbour against neighbour in a desperate fight for survival.

this is just the beginning if we do not immediately stop dumping wastes into the waters... and injecting them into the earth through injection wells.
I have worked in areas where we were allotted 2.5 gallons of water a day... and that included what we had to bathe in.
Not fun when one is used to a seemingly endless supply... oh how much we take for granted... and how very naive we are about our wasteful ways until coming face to face with realities like this in other parts of the world.

This is a reply to # 1,455,430For the past several weeks I have been staying in Utopia, Texas which is between San Antono and Del Rio. The weather here went from spring directly into the middle of summer with temperatures 10 degrees above normal. Tomato plants refuse to bloom and set fruit, as they are in a survival mode. The same with the okra.
It is literally the parched earth here, with almost no rain in ages. Most of the rivers and creeks are dry gulches, including the Sabinal and the Frio is barely trickling - though there are still some places where you can wade and soak. A great many trees have shed their leaves or died and the grass lies golden brown and parched beneath the shimmering waves of heat. It crackles when you walk on it. The temperature guage on the porch has been regularly registering between 110 and 114 most late afternoons. There is a breeze most of the time, but it is like an oven blast.
The poor hummingbirds flit back and forth looking in vain for blooms to succor them and the usually abundant wildlife has become scarce. Vultures and flies are abundant though. Perhaps they know something?
Somewhere Dante is laughing.
