As industrial giants like Exxon and Koch expand their operations, local officials have raised alarms about the dwindling drinking water supply. Following a crucial vote, Corpus Christi is on the verge of a crisis, prompting concerns that the area could soon run dry, with officials warning that residents might soon find themselves pulling up mud instead of water.
