  as the parent comment is possibly hinting at, a relevant novel exploring this is "The Water Knife" by Paolo Bacigalupi it's a bit of an unpleasant read in parts, but it is exploring a future where there isn't enough water for everyone, and many people are only left with bad options, or never really had any.

    Thanks - was wondering if it was a bit obtuse. Just finished reading "The Water Knife" and yes I agree it is a bit unpleasant at times, but I find Bacigalupi's world-building quite compelling. I might read 'Cadillac Desert' that is referenced by and inspired "The Water Knife".
