Gotta love libs; first they constantly scream about droughts, then for 50 years they block and/or oppose the construction of every new dam or reservoir that would help us cope with one. No, they'd rather hire a thousand potty police to make sure a family of four only flushes its toilets once a day during any semblance of a drought.
I remember that article for Sci-American....it was even news to me about that mega flood in the 1860s. Yikes!
