Hi M-T
The continuing water shortages in the UK never fail to amaze me; I logged onto to SKY News today and it said 'the rain should stop by Sunday' - but there are hosepipe bans!!!
In Cyprus, our last President (Clerides) promised us 'no more water shortages' and apart from the occasional local shortfall, we seem to have plenty of water. Two wet Winters have helped. We do have a couple of desalination plants but they provide only a small percentage of our water.
On second thoughts, maybe it is because we have a Communist Governmment 'water for the masses'! It Russia, of course. it would have to be 'Vodka for the masses'!
