Water rationing in floods!

We all live in uncertainty. Nobody actually knows what is going to happen next. We are all just trailing along like a school of fish with no leader, no direction and no purpose.
Any few months ago, the drinking water levels in my state became dangerously low. This is ironic as we are living in a tropical country with way too much abundance of rainfall. There is lush greenery everywhere, even in the gutter of the roof.
Then there was talk of looking at alternative ways of harvesting drinking water like ground water drilling. Then the politicians moved in saying that it is not the supply but the distribution. The management unit grumbled that their earlier suggestion to build adequate infrastructure was not heeded, hence the shortage.
The Meteorological Men moved in to warn that the worst of the dry weather to yet to come with the ever-changing weather patterns.
Just as soon as they said that, the following day, down came the rain in vengeance like in Noah's story. Before you know it, the state had more water than it bargained for. Water not only in their pipes but everywhere, their porch, bedroom, carpet and cars.
Then, nobody talks of water shortage. The discussion moves on to drainage system, uncoordinated development, lack of environmental impact assessment reports and so on.
Water shortage now seem like a bad word. Nobody wants to be reminded of the days of cleaning the fine dry muddy sand which just would not go away from the flood victims' household, the persistent grainy feeling that stays in their sole of the feet and the damaged household items. http://christopherteh.com/blog/2012/06/selangor-water/
