Not A Drop

California's major cities might make it (I can never figure out if this is true or wishful thinking) but Sao Paulo has problems...

SAO PAULO — Sao Paulo residents, half of whom are already complaining of hours-long water shortages, were warned yesterday by a top water regulator to brace for more-severe cutoffs.

“If the drought continues, residents will face more-dramatic water shortages in the short term,” Vicente Andreu, president of Brazil’s National Water Agency, known as ANA, told reporters in Sao Paulo as he prepared to speak to the state’s Legislature.

“If it doesn’t rain, we run the risk that the region will have a collapse like we’ve never seen before,” he later told lawmakers.
