Severe Drought in Southwest Texas Threatens Water Supply and Agriculture
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports on the extreme drought in Southwest Texas, classified as exceptional drought by the U.S. Drought Monitor. This crisis is causing water shortages, crippling agriculture, and drying up key water sources. Scientists warn that this is part of a long-term pattern, and the economic structure of the West, particularly in Texas, may need to shift to cope with these harsh conditions.
