One season does not make the problem go away. California has had this problem for decades. There is too much run off and not enough use of things like rain barrels or water barrels. Each household should use one to catch the run-off from their roofs, etc. They could then use that water for their landscapes, etc. The problem is not with the type of season we have (wet vs. dry), it's how well we manage it. It's time we each took a little responsibility for the problem and worked collectively on fixing it. Even if others feel it's insignificant. Hey, at least, it's something! Right?

This method uses so much less water than in-ground growing. We must also learn to feed ourselves by growing fruits and vegetables indoors.
