lack of water

ok,
so the water issue is a big one,
water rarely gets you for drinking water, it hits with the food first.
this is the kind of year that food is going to be pricey,
everyone is looking at a hard time growing this summer,
so it is a great year to grow a garden,
but being how little water there is here, I am likely not going to have a big garden at all.
this is why you store food from the good years to cover for the bad ones.
ancient Egypt failed as a civilization when they had 10 years of stored grain, the Nile river dried up,
it was a drought that was more than 10 years long,
I don't even know anyone that has more than 10 years of grain stored up now,


the spring is now 7 foot 7 inches below the top,
so the level went up, still lower than the non running creek near it, and lower than it was when I moved here,
but I have no idea if that is going to be enough water
I am likely just going to focus the water at keeping the trees alive,
and a small garden that is mostly just for seeds.

farming in california appears to be not happening this year.
and other states have lost the winter grain they planted due to the harsh weather,
and they will likely get little summer water just like they did last year,
this is all quite worrying, but then think of the economic fallout from this,
this year might be interestin,
then food might only go up 30%... 
I suggest to start planning last year if you are going to plan at all.

edit:
look what I just found

apparently I am somewhat optimistic when looking at how others see it.

and as if things were not bad enough from nature,

I wonder if it is true
