Different Texas towns that get the bulk of its water from the Rio Grande are imposing restrictions as a lack of flows from Mexico and continued droughts are reducing their reservoirs to critical levels.
According to Border Report, officials in the town of Zapata worry they could soon run out of drinking water as they have emergency supplies for less than two days to serve its 5,000 residents. The town may need to resort to special measures, such as extracting water through pumps and a special pad.
