Perhaps basically constant, short term plans are all that can possibly be adopted when we are at the mercy of a currently angry mother nature. Sigh.

That's called placing all your bets on ample precipitation next winter, which will allow continued postponement of a long term solution that is going to be painful for everyone.

Short term adjustments are the best way to move forward. Plans based on wild assumptions of runoff are basically what we have now. It's kind of like dryland farming in that you can only use the water you really get.
