Drought for three years, completely relying on wells and streams from ground water for farming. One waterfall is gone in the area I live.

Fortunately this year we had a month of rain but it's hardly enough to help the already drained resources.

@Miram how are the farmers coping? Are they managing to sustain crops and animals watered?

@Gangstress

Some left, lot are in the process of selling properties and moving away because they can't afford digging wells..and some are in courts fighting for water resources areas.

It's only small farm owners that get really affected.

There is place that looks like the Sahara right now and it used to be a beautiful vine farm. It is sad if you have seen the area before.

Wild life struggles too without the water. I use drip irrigation but I place open ponds for animals since I am next to a forest. I have tortoises and little beings in my cherry farm all the time during the summer, I love watching them but I also know it is not long term solution.

@Miram youre doing more than most are!
Its so difficult at the moment. Our beloved beauty spots are becoming barron, hardly anythung grows except odd grass. We arent even getting the migratory birds coming over as much. Its very sad
