Despite the rains this week in Texas, there are still areas that are suffering from last summer's drought.

Austin, TX just lifted their Stage II water restrictions. Now people can water their lawns once a week. If they a caught watering more often there are stiff fines. Some fines last summer went up to a thousand dollars.

I hate extended dry weather. We’re in no danger of water restrictions or anything but a tiny pocket of drought has settled over my immediate area.

Nuke power plant + desalination plant + pipeline. Expensive but it could move ALOT of water to up country Texas and benefit a lot of people.
