Warnings issued for coming shortages of water | Pakalert Press

Warnings issued for coming shortages of water | Pakalert Press

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 –
  1. El Paso, Texas; 
  2. Palo Alto, Calif.; 
  3. Miami, Fl; 
  4. Lincoln, Neb.; 
  5. Salt Lake City, 
  6. San Diego, Calif
  7. Los Angeles, Calif
  8. San Antonio, Texas
  9. Las Vegas, Nevada and 
  10. Atlanta, Georgia.
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.

New technology may help in coastal regions.
