This reminded me about Yemen. Eight years ago I read that Yemen may be the first country to run out of water. I went to check on where they are. It's not good. Drought is being compounded by conflict and politics.
I can't help but think that this is a harbinger of the future in more places than Yemen as climate change continues.
