::: I think perhaps one needs to see that there is a difference between a flood and a drought being over. A drought is a prolonged period of time with less than average rainfall that leads to the general water availability to a particular area to be decreased significantly (definition made up on the spot) while a flood is a momentary sudden increase in water in an area due to heavy downpours. You can have a flood in the middle of a drought and the drought continues - what is needed is consistent rain over a prolonged period of time, not a heavy shower. PS Kazumaru, can I have a pie with that sauce ASAP? --[[User:Bilby|Bilby]] 18:19, 16 August 2007 (EDT) | ::: I think perhaps one needs to see that there is a difference between a flood and a drought being over.
