Arizona is actually working on a plan to bring in seawater from the Sea of Cortez, people forget that the ocean is only ~62 miles from Arizona’s southern border. It’s actually one of the more realistic and economically viable desalination proposals out there.
The main obstacle are environmentalists. Unfortunately desalination (like Nuclear Energy) is to environmentalists like garlic is to a vampire.
