Water, water everywhere

Okay, explain this please. We are so short of water due to climate change that some species, such as some kind of bog abiding cricket. Yet it hasn't stopped raining for almost a month. And if bog abiding crickets are really so short of water, why don't they move in with us? There is water everywhere here. We empty the bath and hey presto! ~ it's raining in the kitchen. Now there's a constant heavy dripping from the gas boiler too, miles away from the bath, down in the depths of the garage.

I've decided that my son is going to be a plumber when he grows up/ gets older. (Not all men do the former).
