HanserQuite so. Everyone has been saying how mild January has been and how dry this winter is. It’s alarming to read in this article that the Govt is only now starting to worry. It’s going to be a tough summer unless all this climate change going on gives us a washout of a summer!
Marvin Le MartianThe island is still superficially green but this is thanks to the nightly dew that is keeping the ground surface moist. Underneath, the soil is bone dry and, when the hotter weather returns, the impact could be dramatic. Local people know how serious the situation already is.
We hiked along Gorg Blau last weekend and it was astonishingly low. It’ll take biblical rain for quite some time for it and Cuber to get anywhere near a reasonable capacity to cope with the coming summer. That looks unlikely so I hope there are concrete plans in place to cut water use and get as much supply in as possible.
