From (un)Happy, Texas - where the water ran out. -
in the Texas panhandle town of happy, main street is entirely
abandoned, save for the happy state bank. locals told me it’s been that
way for decades, ever since they “ran out of water.” more accurately,
the farmers irrigated so much the aquifer level fell below a level
affordable enough to pump.
Drought in Colorado and nationally will lead to higher food prices. - coming soon to a grocery store near you: higher prices. pervasive drought in Colorado and much of the rest of the nation means more than just brown lawns and dried-up gardens. crops are stunted, and prices are rising
Drought taps out some water wells around St. Louis. - for months, farmers have been forced to drill deeper wells to water parched crops and feed livestock. but in recent weeks, homeowners across the state have reported that they can't perform basic tasks such as doing laundry or washing dishes, let alone even think about watering their flower beds
In Texas, water may be free, but it's not forever. - since there's not a whole lot of water falling from the sky, much of the farm belt is looking underground to local aquifers. but here's the thing about that: a new study in the journal "nature" says 20 percent of the world's aquifers are being over-exploited, including those in Texas
U.S. drought exposes “hydro-illogical” water management. - the historic drought withering much of the united states this summer has revealed a need for strategies to better manage water supplies that could remain under severe pressure both this year and in the longer term
