A combination of climate change, years of deforestation, privatization and a badly managed and corrupt political system have come together in a perfect storm to throw my city into one of its darkest crises ever. There is absolutely no scientific evidence that climate change had a damned thing to do with it. That's utter bullshit. Just as it didn't in CA. No one has any evidence to support that claim. What we know, though, is that when you have a highly populated area it is the responsibility of government to insure adequate water supply. One of the risks of huge populations is that the water supply will be inadequate; long droughts of 10 or more years are not unusual in history. When you aggregate insane numbers of people the importance of water supply and increased demand cannot be overlooked. And that's precisely what CA and Brazil have done. They have no one to blame but themselves. That's why we build reservoirs.
