There are plans to build a desalination plant in the Bay Area [1]. This and other plants in CA could help water supply in populated areas.
The water districts in CA have two problems:
1. They are not connected well so water cannot easily be transfered from one district to another.
2. The reservoirs cannot sustain an extended drought.
