   For example, places like Phoenix, Arizona are also in trouble from diminishing aquifers. Cities aren't always placed near rivers and lakes.

However, if any place in the west drains their aquifer faster than it can be replenished by nature, then eventually there will be no water left at all to drink or bath or whatever with.
