Right now the US has too much water in parts, lots of flash
flooding... and yoose can have the excess for free, but how do you
suppose to stretch a hose accross the Pacific all the way to Down
Under? Duh Mayhaps yoose Aussies should plan better for droughts...
build some large reservoirs to collect water during your rainy
seasons. I know that no one can plan for all contingencies but seems
to me your government officials are no different from USA goverenment
offdicials... too busy humping kangaroos.
