In my lifetime, the population of the world has doubled, and the population of the US went from 209M to 330M. Much of our water problems stems from the simple fact that there's so many more people and companies that are now trying to use the same amount of water. The only long term solution for our water problems is massive investment into desalination and pipelines from the coasts inland. There are other solutions such as using what we have more efficiently, equitably and with less waste, but that will only get us so far. We're heading towards 400M Americans by 2060. They'll all need water.
