Every year we can read about water shortage. Wells, lakes and rivers run dry. Lack of rain is if I’m correct to blame. But that makes me wonder. Where is all the water that usually coming down when it rains?

It’s coming down as rain. It’s just causing drought conditions by coming down in different places, or coming down less uniformly.
Here are the top 6 reasons we are draining our water supplies.
Climate change.
Natural calamities such as droughts and floods.
Increased human consumption.
Overuse and wastage of water.
A global rise in freshwater demand.
Overuse of aquifers and its consequent slow recharge.
Some of the water is just falling in new places, climate change changes wind patterns that move rain around, Cali is in drought, Louisiana is getting floods. Also warmer air can hold more humidity so a lot more water just stays in the sky.
