Putting on the Winter coat, originally uploaded by Images by John ‘K’.

Many parts of the US continue to be hammered by Winter storms. The UK is saturated by rain. Meanwhile, here in California we are facing the worst drought that we’ve seen in recent times, and we’d happily take all the snow and rain from those that have had enough if there were some easy way to do so.

We do have some relief on the horizon – there was some limited rain over the past weekend, which fell as snow at higher elevations, and more is falling now, but will it be enough? Only time will tell.

I have to wonder though that given all of our efforts to pipe other liquids around the country and beyond, why can’t we do the same for water?
