This was exactly my thought. I'm shocked at the sudden reversal since we could easily go back into a drought in the coming years. Their particular policies were ill designed, but they at least made us aware of the problem and spurred discussion and what we should be doing. This really does mirror the state's budgetary attitude and it highly disapponting.

Actually now that I think about it, governments show restraint when the water is running out, but show no such restraint even when the money is all gone - they just keep spending it. The difference is you can't go into "water debt".

  In a way you can, if you take more out of the aquifers than comes in, you go into water debt.
