It's a shame the government kept declining permission to build more reservoirs, then perhaps we wouldn't have this problem AS often.

Yes, it's not just the water companies who're culpable. Decades of government neglect, planning problems and more recently, rapid population growth in the SE have exacerbated the problem.
If weather patterns continue to be unpredictable then it's going to take a brave government and/or water industry to pump billions into drought or flood prevention measures.
