Parts of Texas have already run out of water, an agriculture commissioner has warned, amid the longstanding water crisis in the state.Texas has been struggling with its water supply for some time, due to population growth, deteriorating infrastructure and multiple droughts, especially the last two summers.
Miller said: 'Our tomato production in the Valley is just about gone. They usually grow five crops of vegetables in that area,' he added. Now 'they have enough water to grow one. So, our production's down 80 percent and it's all about water.'He went on to speak about the West Texas town of Pecos, which was known for its melon production.But 'you can't find one anymore because the farmers are gone,' Miller said, 'there's no water. They had to leave.
