See this CNN article: “The fastest growing metro in the US is looking to a shrinking reservoir to keep the boom going.”
The reality of water shortages is only now starting to sink in for some communities. St. George, Utah, while the fastest growing community for now, is on an unsustainable path because of a lack of water resources.

The challenge of no growth in a community being fueled by it is also daunting. Thus, people will hang on to pipe dreams that will never happen.
