Desalination plants and in the short term drill your own well. Mother Wench's has been running for 15 years now. Best investment the family ever made.
All the wells have been sucked dry - even the village well has dried up...  noooo:

Have they tried drilling any deeper? The people next door have had to redrill theirs as the water table they were using has run dry. Father Wench forced our well drillers to go down to the next table.

Dig deeper eh?  rubschin:

Nobody on the island has thought of that!

Silly people, paying millions of Euros to have water shipped in from Greece when all they had to do was dig a little deeper!  cloud9:

I only suggested it because not all wells run off the same water table. And if one or more have dried up it doesn't necessarily mean that they all have.  redface:

Grey and chilly here. I have been DIYing (electrics) and so far haven't managed to either electrocute myself or blow the fuses.

I have also been to the old office to relieve them of some lovely cabinets that were otherwise going to be binned.

Now I require lunch...
