Warnings Issued For Coming Shortages Of Water
The U.S. Drought Monitor is jointly produced by the National Drought Mitigation Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the United States Department of Agriculture, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
People considering a move to a new city or region frequently check the job prospects, quality of the schools, crime rates, property values and possibly the shopping or entertainment venues.
Soon, maybe, they’ll have to ask whether there’s enough water.
That’s according to a new report from Weather.com listing 10 major U.S. cities facing acute water shortages in the future. Drastic measures will be needed to keep supplies available to millions of Americans, the report said, costing trillions of dollars.
After all, the human body, which is 65 percent water, can only survive three days without more water, scientists say.
The threat encompasses more than just the 10 cities cited in the report – El Paso, Texas; Palo Alto, Calif.; Miami; Lincoln, Neb.; Salt Lake City, San Diego, Los Angeles, San Antonio, Las Vegas and Atlanta.
That’s because the freshwater Great Lakes are at their lowest level ever, reservoirs in California are dry bowls of dust, the life-giving Colorado River now disappears before it reaches its end and underground aquifers are growing tinier each day.
The Weather.com report pointed out that the problem is worldwide, but the resolutions are being developed on a city-by-city basis.
For example, El Paso already had water shortages decades ago but now has seen its population surge from 130,000 in 1950 to some 670,000 today. The city already had resorted to building a desalinization plant to clean up brackish wellwater and uses treated wastewater for crop irrigation and industry, the report said.
In Palo Alto, like other places in California, there soon could be a choice between using water for growing food or for drinking.
“In some regions, stringent water restrictions, including rationing, may be imposed,” noted a report from California’s Water Crisis, a state public education program.
