In #Texas, #CorpusChristi’s #watercrisis may be a glimpse into the future
5yr #drought, a failed desalination plant, and poor planning may force the city to choose between residents and #oil and #gas industry.
Corpus Christi is one of largest petrochemical hubs in US, oil, gas, and other industrial facilities account for between 50 to 60% of city’s #water usage. One enormous plastics plant owned by #ExxonMobil and #SaudiArabia, used just under 5B gallons of water in 2024

Featured: What makes Corpus Christi significant as a case is not that the #drought was unpredictable. It is that the drought was predicted, and that the planning systems in place were calibrated to conditions that are no longer stable. https://www.texasobserver.org/corpus-christi-water-crisis-climate-projections/
