Funny you should say that since Austin is already at the 5th spot record for most rainfall locally for the month of July already.

the first mad max is like australia is falling apart post calamity in the northern hemisphere or something like that cause they didnt have the budget to do anything but rent shabby outback gas stations as sets. the second movie is after whatever calamity has ruined the environment in the whole world cause they could afford to send the crew into a desert for a long shoot

Desal plants are already going up in Mexico on the Sea of Cortez. They'll happily sell water to the US. And I said the Ohio River Valley because it is flooding with increasing frequency with climate change. There's a lot of extra water in that basin. They'd be smart to cash in on the economic benefits of exporting water.
