Houston has it's own problems both with occasional drought and also with flooding. Rainfall in Texas tends to be "feast or famine". Houston is most vulnerable to the former and DFW to the latter.
I find that odd, only because they get so much more rain there than California, it may be they need even more storage capacity. Even in the famine side of the rainfall totals its still more than Ca gets in high years.
I'd love to see a national water distribution system.
