Good write up. Yeah, it's never a fun idea to think about but I think you captured the issue pretty well. Some may scream and shout "there is no proof" or even proclaim we got it wrong if we get to the 9 month point and still have water. The next 3 months will tell - if we get a good rain over Spring (and it falls in the right areas) then things should be ok. Desal looks like being 18-30 months away from being online, which promises to restore our water supply pretty quickly (with its own issues, I might add).
Regardless, it's time we all realised just how close we are to being without it and perhaps began considering just how fragile our society is on a larger scale.
