For thousands of years we have found it necessary to control water - in order to have it where we want it, when we want it. Nonetheless, some areas still suffer from drought, and some from flood. This is due partly to the natural variability of climate and partly to inappropriate land and water use. New climate seems to be changing beyond that natural variability, and this is likely to impact on the availability and distribution of water.
