Mayor Eric Adams declared a drought warning Monday — and halted a major aqueduct repair project to preserve the city’s waters supply — as New York City faces the threat of severe water shortages.

Adams also directed city agencies to roll back water usage and urged New Yorkers to voluntarily do the same amid the historic rainfall shortage and dwindling water reserves.

“Our city vehicles may look a bit dirtier, and our subways may look a bit dustier, but it’s what we have to do to delay or stave off a more serious drought emergency,” Adams said at a press conference.

Pausing the $2 billion Delaware Aqueduct Repair Project allows the city to reopen the aqueduct and resume water flow from four additional reservoirs.

Here is an idea! Let’s import 20 million more foreigners to hit up America’s water supply as well as everything else. America is the Land of Endless Everything!!!
