Yea, while I do understand there is lack of rain I see this as more of a man made issue. Example, all these lakes around Austin didn't exist 500 years ago. The Army Core of Engineers dammed off parts of the rivers and make them lakes then control the flow of water.
This has allowed millions of people the ability to live in what would normally be inhospitable areas. We changed the way the rivers flowed and take too much water. It's fine when there is enough snow, rain & ice pack to keep in all going, but in times of drought like right now, it's going to cause serious problems.
