00:00Across the United States, a growing number of cities are staring down a serious water problem.
00:05In San Antonio, the Edwards Aquifer has dropped to some of its lowest levels ever recorded.
00:11Even as the city keeps growing, Phoenix is leaning harder every year on a shrinking Colorado River,
00:16forcing officials to push water recycling and drought-friendly landscaping.
00:21In Las Vegas, Lake Mead has fallen so low that some forecasts warn the city could run short of reliable
00:27supply by 2035.
00:30Despite aggressive conservation rules, Atlanta is caught in a decades-long fight with neighboring states over the Chattahoochee River, its
00:38main water source.
00:39Out west, Los Angeles and Albuquerque are both stretching thin supplies from rivers and groundwater hundreds of miles away.
00:46And in Miami, it's not too little water, but too much salt.
00:50Rising seas are pushing saltwater into the freshwater aquifer that the city depends on.
00:55Experts say these cities each face a different cause.
00:58But the same warning.
01:00Without major investment in conservation and new water sources, the taps could really run dry.
