Someone needs to improve desalination. That and a remedy for fire ants.
***A population boom and a climate that keeps getting warmer and drier has led to severe shortages***
After two years of drought this year my garden finally got planted yesterday. Today it got washed away by the rains. It took the dirt and seeds but left the rocks.

Cotton fields in north Texas have been sucking the Ogallala Aquifer dry for decades now, and Texas water rights law just encourages a race to the bottom. Recharge in the Nebraska Sandhills will keep the water fine up north, but parts of Texas are going to have to find something new to do before much longer.
Texas didn’t give away any oil. They can pay for it.
Whiskey is for drinkin’, and water is for fightin’. Age old, never changes.
The sad thing is that about half of the residential water is used to water the suburbanite 30’ X 60’ yard for five months. Half of it running off into the street.
