US Cities Facing “Day Zero” Water Depletion
A day of reckoning is coming for metropolises around the world. US cities are no exception.
The world's population is growing, our per-capital usage of water is growing. Unfortunately, our water table is not. When this natural source of fresh water is depleted, it's depleted. Permanently.
"Day Zero" is the day when the water table goes dry. It is the day when fresh water from natural aquifers run out.
Without changing the trajectory, many US cities face Day Zero in their futures. Unless things change.
As Cape Town, South Africa faced Day Zero, citizens purchased drinking water surrounded by armed guards. Could the same happen in the US ?
5 US cities face Day Zero soon if something doesn't change: Los Angeles, Miami, Atlanta, Phoenix and El Paso (source). In fact reliable sources point to 3 US cities being the next Cape Town (source).
