They are likely to run out of drinking water before most other countries since they lacked the sense to build a pipeline alongside the canal to provide water for its operation instead of relying on fresh water from lakes.

"France began work on the canal in 1881, but stopped because of lack of investors' confidence due to engineering problems and a high worker mortality rate. The United States took over the project in 1904 and opened the canal in 1914." Wikipedia
No, she is way better than a so called "meteorologist", since she actually lives there for the winter, and knows how the weather is for over 60 years! Would you trust a so called "meteorologist" more than that? Not me!

Their water management does need improvement though.

In the absence of vast instrumentation, few know the weather outside a day's walk from their home.
