Looks like my jet stream jig hasnt helped you fellas out, and I do feel your pain. My pond is down about 2 feet right now, and the big test is on to see how it'll hold out til this Fall.
Just out of curiousity, what do you define as a drought there?
We have what's called a mediterranean climate....all the precip occurs between about November and April (typically 20-40" for foothills, although this last season...>55"), and virtually nothing, and I mean nothing, from May to November.
A drought for us, and it has happened before, is if no rain comes in the late Fall. Back from about 1975-1977 there was no rainy season...almost 2 years of no precip....this will happen again as it is cyclicle.
