Ehm. Yeah. No. Maybe start by lifting your rich-western-country view and look around a bit. Middle East and Africa have desertification happening at a shocking rate. Wars are being fought over water. The Nile is about to "run dry", it will stop actually having anything left to empty into the Mediterranian Sea. What's left is full of garbage, toxins and wells are pumping up salty water.
But don't worry, it's going to come to the U.S. sooner than you may wish. The Ogallala Aquifer is being relied on by farmers all over and is continuously used for irrigation. Just a matter of time until that runs dry.
Oh, btw, the Colorado River has "run dry" already. If people keep thinking like you, this will just get worse.
