We had a terrible drought In Victoria where I live about 6 years ago, a lot of our country is still in the midst of drought and most likely always will be.
We had a water ban like your sisters Lucky Seven, I think it went on for nearly 2 years. No watering of lawns, Cars, gardens ect.
Any "Run off" water from washing machines, showers, kitchen sink water could be saved for the garden, to wash cars if you wanted to.
Local football/ cricket ovals watering systems were turned off, Sporting seasons cancelled.
We even had special times as the drought eased to allow you to use the water in your garden, Odd numbered houses were Monday, wed, fri and even numbered houses were tues, thurs and sat
Hundreds of Farmers lost their businesses, and a lot took their own lives as the Help you would expect from the government "Just wasn't there"
Cattle and Sheep were perishing due to no food and water, and our farmers just couldn't go on........
I was in my mid 20s when this was happening , I kept my only horse at the time at a friends place.
The one thing I learned after Going thru a Drought- "
Prepare"
When the drought Hits , prices will go up $^$^$^$^$^$^$^$^ Food , cost of living ect.
I admire everyone on here that grows there own produce and cans their own harvest, Breeds Cattle for own personal food usage ect
Praying your farmers get the rain they need,
