The ten cities on this list are the ones with the most acute exposure to problems that could cause large imbalances of water supply and demand. There are a number of metropolitan areas that could face similar problems but their risks are not quite as high. The water problem for U.S. cities is, although it may not be evident, one of the largest issues that faces urban areas over the next ten years.
These are the ten largest cities by population that have the greatest chance of running out of water.

1.Los Angeles
2.Houston
3.Phoenex
4.SanAntonio
5.San Francisco
6.Fort Worth,Texas
7.Las Vegas
8.Tucson
9.Atlanta
10.Orlando

 

This is no surprise at all. I've been to 4 of these cities and the 2 major factors they all have in common are population of course, and that in the suburban areas, people have rather large extravagant homes, gardens and lawns that tax the water systems even more. Some cities now have water mandates but they are very hard to enforce.

Vegas is slightly different, but i can't imagine all the casinos and hotels are very efficient when it comes to water conservation. Hell, what hotel would be?

 

We're running out of water....at the same time...the population is BOOMING.

 

...more investment needs to take place into processes that convert seawater into drinkable water.. other conservation efforts.. digging new reservoirs.. chopping up glaciers in antarctica and elsewhere, transporting the ice to water-light areas of the country..

 

All those suggestions require massive amounts of energy and capitol...both of which we don't have.
