Speaking of frontlines - wasn't aware how much Lake Chad has shrunk.
....

Yes that's pretty dramatic.

Meanwhile here we had some rather extreme rain in the week, which set the river levels up to a new record high, so I would have been flooded out but for the defences and the large pump outside working.

It looks like it's bigger in 2013 than it was in 1987.

The lake is only 1.5m deep on average, the shorelines tend to fluctuate a lot. But the current situation is pretty bleak, regardless.

Yeah, most municipality build boating lakes are that deep.
