"Water, water everywhere but not a drop to drink"

Over the last 24hours I have listened to just about everyone I have spoken to complain about the current 'water shortage' we are experiencing, and that this is more akin to a complaint from a 3rd world back water country suffering from famine and disease. Till now I have managed to remain tight lipped about the 'National Water Crisis', which was of course precipitated by the 'National Snow Crisis'.
