Israel gets most of its water from desalination. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_supply_and_sanitation_in_Israel https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_supply_and_sanitation_... California is discussing rationing water. Nevada is a dry empty expanse, Arizona is pulling the dregs out of their aquifer. Cheap energy + desalination is the answer, but we need more energy. Nuclear and other renewables are the obvious answer.

The answer? Another answer is that the desert population collapses, possibly due to the breakdown of too complicated infrastructure and troublesome hand-offs of political power, factors one may observe in the decline of various other past civilizations. But one must not get too salty when talking about such places as the fertile crescent.
