What Happens When the West Runs Out of Water?

Out here in the West (of the US) we are always talking about water. Here in Seattle, there’s too damn much of it. Back in Denver, where I grew up in high school, there wasn’t enough of it. California has had water troubles since the beginning of its habitation by Europeans. Despite their best efforts, there are many thirsty people and not enough water to go around. Does anyone know what happens when Southern California goes dry, and there is no water and people are forced to move anywhere with a working tap? That’s the future that we face. In this video, we see how bad the problem is and how it might be solved.
