There is absolutely no shortage of drinking water in the US. (1) Both US freshwater (surface + groundwater) and groundwater usage in the US has been flat for 40+ years despite the population growing by 50%. (2) Less than 2% for freshwater and 5% of groundwater is used for domestic uses (shower, washing, drinking, etc). (3) Less than 1% of domestic water is used for drinking. So of the 350 billion gallons of freshwater used in the US every day only 250 million is used for drinking. That is 0.07%! We could easily double the amount of drinking water with only a miniscule decrease in the water used for farming. And it is not like this problem is getting worse as usage is flat. There is no reason to worry about a shortage of drinking water in the US.
