It's been getting hot again around here, in the western-most part of Central TX, on the cusp of W. TX. It was back to 100 degrees(F) yesterday. The cooler weather (85-90, rain) of the last week or two was a nice little break. We're still too damn dry around here. But that's the case over most of Texas. Hopefully we're within ten years of the hundred-year flood.
Maybe we'll make it until then... ...with our 18 months of water supply. We average only 11.25" of rain a year and have had 9.5" so far. The population has continued to grow and the influx of shale-oil workers has added to it.
Some lands don't provide enough water to support such growing populations. That's why I'm looking at the future of moisture farming as a viable way to supplement the water needs of populations that exceed their local resources.
