Water shortage is an increasing problem worldwide, and some predict that drinking water will dry worldwide up by 2040.[1] In 2018, it was estimated that 200,000 die in India annually due to lack of access to safe water.[2]

A report on the massive Ogallala Aquifer that supplies water to the High Plains concluded the following:

“ *The area of the aquifer in the High Plains Underground Water District in West Texas has seen a 40-foot drop in water level since 1969.
  • A study in Kansas estimated that the aquifer will run out of water in 50 years, or around the year 2064. Other experts think it could run out of water sooner.
  • ... West Texas and Colorado’s plains[] could run out of water sooner because they receive less rainfall. “How long the aquifer lasts depends on where you are,” [Lucia] Barbato said.
  • Some counties in West Texas could run out of groundwater within 15 years. Those counties include the city of Lubbock ....[1]
