it is not impossible to bring water through pipes, or invest heavily in desalination

  But to bring water through the pipes, you have to have water at the other end of the pipe. That's rare out west, and getting more rare.

    Pacific Ocean has some water in it.

      Not usable water, though. That brings you back to desalination, which is... possible. Is it possible on the scale that's needed? It's not obvious that it is.

        Physically possible? Yes. Financially feasible? Not yet, and maybe not ever. We’ll see.
