Corpus Christi’s growing water crisis has thrust the city into the national spotlight as residents face the possibility of a Level 1 water emergency.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, Yahoo News posted an online article about the situation with the headline, “Climate scientists shake their heads as first U.S. city running completely out of water.”<\/p>\n

The article states that Corpus Christi is at risk of running out of water due to a five-year drought and what it calls political mismanagement of water resources.<\/p>\n

“Corpus Christi could be the first domino to fall as corporate water use and climate change take their toll,” Shannon Marquez said.<\/p>\n

Marquez is a climate scientist quoted in the article.<\/p>\n

Corpus Christi residents have been under water use restrictions since June 14, 2022, when Stage 1 restrictions went into effect.<\/p>\n
