The question is how long will it rock without preparing its water supply for the current population boom?
Long term Texas has some serious water supply issues that NOBODY on the state level is seriously addressing.
I agree that all western states have water problems long term. But to say that nobody is addressing this issue is entirely false. There is a huge amount of attention to this problem from a variety of sources and using a variety of programs include conservation, run off, desalination, etc.
Texas employment is expected to grow by 1.5 million jobs, or 2.3 percent, during the next five years, according to IHS Global Insight.
The Lone Star State is one of six states in the nation projected to grow more than 2.1 percent between 2010 and 2016. The other states are Utah (2.7 percent), Idaho (2.4 percent), Nevada (2.4 percent), Arizona (2.3 percent) and Florida (2.2 percent).
States that will see smaller growth include Connecticut (0.9 percent), Alaska (1.1 percent) and Ohio and Michigan, both at 1.2 percent.
