THE WATER WARS BEGIN
Las Vegas has 60 days of water left
Lake Mead dropped 140 feet since 2000 and sits at just 27% capacity. Nevada’s “dead pool” level approaches fast. When it hits, 40 million Americans lose Colorado River water access.
California, Arizona, Nevada already rationing. Mass migration incoming.
Where will YOU move when the taps run dry?
The Taps Are Running Dry—And the Clock Is Ticking
Let’s stop pretending this is some distant dystopian fiction. Lake Mead—the lifeblood of the Southwest—is gasping for air, its water levels lower than they’ve been in millennia. Las Vegas has two months of water left in reserves. Not years. Months. And when the “dead pool” hits, the Colorado River becomes a glorified ditch, cutting off water for 40 million people.
This isn’t a crisis looming on the horizon—it’s crashing through the front door. So, ask yourself: What’s your exit strategy when your city turns into a sandbox with streetlights?
The Southwest’s water wars have already begun, and they’re playing out in quiet, brutal ways: farmers vs. cities, states vs. states, desperate policy scrambles to delay the inevitable. California is rationing. Arizona is prioritizing. Nevada is staring down a countdown clock. And when the water stops flowing, the real chaos starts. Imagine Phoenix suburbs abandoned, California’s Central Valley—America’s breadbasket—turning to dust, and a mass migration of climate refugees heading anywhere with a functioning reservoir. Where does that leave you?
But here’s the twist: this isn’t just a disaster.
It’s a wake-up call—one that could force the kind of innovation we’ve been avoiding for decades. Desalination, atmospheric water harvesting, closed-loop agriculture—suddenly, sci-fi solutions don’t seem so far-fetched. The question is whether we’ll embrace them before the collapse or after. Because one way or another, humanity will adapt. The only variable is how much suffering happens in the process.
So, where will you go when the taps run dry? Maybe the better question is: What will you do about it now?
The future isn’t just coming — it’s here.
And it’s thirsty.
