Local lakes serving the corpus christi industrial/ refinery complex are down to only 8% now catastrophic levels . It would probably take two consecutive hurricane direct hits to refill. The industry is major american refinery complex and plastic and steel/aluminum as well that could be shutdown right as this iran shit is all poppin off. Its a large enough output that it can have some global market level effects

For years the refineries have been sucking down millions gallons per day while fucking over the populace and contaminating the water supply. They tell the citizens to take shorter showers while they get special privileges . They could have done desalination years ago but they didnt want to compromise by dumping the salt in a way that wouldnt murder the entire coastal ecosystem. Now the city has been pumping like 27 emergency wells that are highly contaminated with beta particle activity from naturally occurring radioactive geology, also about to cause major salt water intrusion into the gulf coast aquifer from such rapid pumping.

its getting pretty serious . Water quality is what i would casually call toxic for the past couple years of this drought as they draw from various bad sources.
