Breaking the Drought #2

I live in Australia which is an extremely dry continent. Most of the population lives around the edges as the centre is not really fit for human habitation. However we still need to eat and the farmers are constantly battling the elements of droughts and floods. We are currently undergoing one of the worst droughts on record and the land is parched. I know the drought will end - it always does but in the meantime the earth is craving water.
