The farmers need to get TopUp Balls to protect their reservoirs from evaporation.

That's a genius invention for sure, but the reservoirs will eventually dry up if there's no rain, and in some parts that's the reality right now.
Yeah, the problem is getting the farmers to buy them when they HAVE water to protect it when the next drought comes. TopUp Balls reduce evaporation enough to prevent reservoirs drying up even in drought conditions. In drought its not that there is NO rain, its that the amount that falls just goes straight into the soil and doesn't run to reservoirs.
The problem with water is that if you only focus on saving it once you're short, its too late.
I can't argue with you there. Hopefully some will think about this when the rain does come back and fill the dams, but right now they need as much help as they can get in many areas.
