"Texas Drought: Impact on Water Supply and Agriculture"

TL;DR Summary
Texas is facing severe water scarcity due to consecutive summers of heat and drought, with reservoirs in regions like far-south Texas and Corpus Christi at dangerously low levels. The situation is exacerbated by industrial water consumption exemptions, homebuilding booms, and international water sharing issues with Mexico. Climate change is expected to worsen these extreme conditions, and without significant rainfall, the state is bracing for a potentially devastating summer.
