In wetter regions, more intense seasonal droughts can be managed by current water - supply systems and by adaptation; for example, demand can be reduced by using water more efficiently, or supply can be increased by increasing the storage capacity in reservoirs.

Batteries continue to get better all the time, and even simpler solutions such as hydro power from an enclosed system where the wind (when it's blowing) is used to pump water into storage reservoirs at the top of a hill or mountain or storage tank, and then when there's demand for power but no wind, the water is drained down to a bottom storage space and hydro power is generated from the falling water.
