Is America running out of water?

Scientists warn that America's freshwater supply could be

reduced by a third in the next 50 years. Water shortages threaten future

American generations, with almost half of the freshwater basins expected to be

unable to meet the population's monthly water demands. The reality is that 40

out of 50 states will experience water shortages.One of the key factors enabling future shortages is climate

change. Regions that often experience heavy rainfall will receive further

precipitation, whilst arid regions are expected to get drier as water patterns

become altered.

America's population is increasing, so is demand. However,

supply is not, and with total daily usage of 345 billion gallons of water by

the entire American population, there is no doubt that the US is running out of

water.
