Water scarcity

Water scarcity is a problem we have heard too much about. There is not enough water, we have to save it, the "tandeo" is the way, etc. But on the other side we hear the rivers are flowing full with water, the dams are overflowing and cities are in danger of flooding. So is there really so little water?

I think the government is trying to create some kind of fear and to change our behavior towards the use of water, by manipulating the information and starting this system to distribute water. Now we are aware we have to spare water, but why if it is so scarce they are charging us so little. I think it is because water is essential for our survival, we use it every day at all hours, they can't take that away from us by charging us more because lots of people wouldn't be able to afford it; for me this would be the same as taking food away from them. So i think the tandeo would be a good idea for this moment, but it's only making the state lose more money and water, because in several parts of the city the pipes aren't working well, so there are leaks and water gets everywhere but where it needs to get. So in theory it would be a great system to start now and don't leave it until there is actually no water, but it isn't being done properly.
