At least, not so far. Time is running out for any significant wintery "blast". That's OK with me, but it continues to be very dry. Playa lakes are very low and some might actually go completely dry. Lubbock, sadly, is heavily dependent now on water from wells, and that resource is not renewable. At one time we heard about plans to use treated sewage and runoff from the storm drain system as a a source of drinking water but I've heard no more about that. I suspect that such sources would require very high investments of energy to produce potable water and that might not be feasible. At my age I really don't have to be concerned about such things, unless I live to be 120 or so.
