No modern American city has ever run out of water. But chances are rising that Corpus Christi, Texas, could be the first. Absent a biblical rainfall event, its reservoirs are on track to completely dry up by next year.
That raises baffling questions for the future of Texas’ eighth-largest city and one of the nation’s major petrochemical hubs.
Use all that oil money to build a desalinization plant??? They’re on the gulf, the water is right there.
