Severe Drought Undermines Water Supply In Texas

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that Texas lawmakers are calling on voters to approve massive investments to address the state’s worsening water crisis. With climate change driving severe drought and rapid population growth straining supplies, officials propose both a $2.5 billion investment into the Texas Water Fund and prepare for a projected $20 billion funding gap. McIntyre also notes that similar measures are likely in other drought-affected regions, including Arizona.
