The author discusses two constraints on the need for capital investment in extending water supplies for drought management. First is the illusion that the existing water supply is adequate. Second is the illusion that purchasing storage is "insurance" against unforeseen circumstances, even though most of the time, the city will not need to use this storage. This paper shows how a utility can overcome these constraints using the Kansas River experience as an example.
