LPSW has just started today. The pressure of the water supply is being lowered from today. This is the first munincipal step to save water. It'll take a little longer to fill the bathtub, but it won't influence our daily life so much, the authorities say. I checked the website of the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport to see the status of the Ishite-gawa dam reservoir that supplies water to my city. Today's water storage rate is 53.8%, while it is 89.5% in an average year. We need a lot of water to plant rice just now. I'm afraid a drought has just started. If we didn't have enough rain now, we wouldn't be able to avoid cuts in the water supply. This summer is the season that we miss typhoons.
