I saw an elderly gentleman the other day who had his truck backed up to the lake and was pumping water into as many large storage containers that his pick up would hold. I inquired as to his actions, and he told me that his well was dry and he was putting the lake water into his well. He mentioned that bottled water was used to drink and cook with. I felt sorry for the man, as I saw him return the next day and repeat the process.

I wonder what the short and long term effects of this practice will be. What plans are in place to assist people that have lost their water due to the drought?
