Land locked Paraguay is suffering a shortage of fuel because a serious drought has left the main river, and lifeline, too shallow for vessels with a plus ten feet draught, according to the capital Asunción press.

Comment:
Landlocked Paraguay depends on upriver shipping for supplies.  A drought means no water.  In Paraguay it also means "gas shortage." 

The take-away?  I guess,  actions have logical consequences...... that aren't always considered beforehand.
