No modern American city has ever run out of water. But chances are rising that Corpus Christi, Texas, could be the first. Absent a biblical rainfall event, its reservoirs are on track to completely dry up by next year.

That raises baffling questions for the future of Texas’ eighth-largest city and one of the nation’s major petrochemical hubs.

People tried to teach them about desalination, but it never took off as the community couldn't spell it. An engineering team reached out to a PR firm and they are trialing "wawa-good". Focus groups so far show some promise.
