shortage

You might have read in the news that we currently suffer from gas shortage here in Germany because the Russians and the Ukrainians have some disagreements about the conditions of their gas supply contract. Fortunately we have some buffer of gas here in Germany to delay the resulting problems.

You most likely didn't read in the news that we have water shortage at our department. This is not because of some disagreements about the conditions of any contract of our supplier but because nobody ordered water the last days. Fortunately I have some buffer of water at home to delay the resulting problems.
