The Day New York Went Dry

It's 1967 in New York, and if you want a drink of water - get out of town. Don't wash your sidewalk. Don't wash your car. In fact, don't wash yourself. Why not? It's the law. Take a bath, and you go to court. Take a shower, and you go to jail. Death Valley? Guantanamo? No. New York City. Three years from now when the final water shortage has befun to turn the greatest city in the world into a concrete wasteland. It's a crazy science-fiction notion, isn't it? Nothing that could really happen, could it? We don't have to worry, do we? Do we?
