NO WATER...

Challenge #21 in the WaterWorld series. Hosted by OldArrow.

Challenge has finished

The ultimate threat to all life... a threat that we of the Responsible Race so often like to juggle with! The harsh reality of that threat can be seen everywhere - and photographed, of course. Show us places and situations of alarming water scarcity, deprivation or consequences in your picures. PLEASE READ ALL THE RULES CAREFULLY. I hate having to disqualify an otherwise goo photo just because of an oversight...
