For food? Don't crops grow better in warmer weather? And aren't we constantly improving yields through genetic engineering, selective breeding, and technological advances?
If we can get cheap enough energy, we can desalinate water. 25% of Singapore's water is from desalination, for example.
Perhaps nuclear reactors, solar, or fusion could make water issues a thing of the past.
If we're going to war, it'll be for the same old reasons: energy and land.

Land is fought over the for the resources it has, it's arability, or because you need space to put people. Water is a resource, arability of land is how much food you can get out of it. Wars have often been fought for water and food, but not so much in recent centuries.
