Is Australia running out of water?

Question

I heard about a drought that is pretty bad over there, I think Australia is the greatest country ever, so I hope rain comes soon for them. I also heard some stupid story of how they might have to send half the population to other countries if it gets too bad.

Answer 1

They had water issues in 1980 in Perth when I visited.  The lack of fresh water has always been an issue.

Answer 2

Wordwide the increasing human population will continue to want more and more water, creating the illusion that water is running out.  What's really happening is that there are too many people.
