re: water is not the new oil:

Any amount of water anyone needs, can be produced at any coastline, by desalination. Most cities are on the coast, or on the lower stretches of rivers. For those who don't live on the coast, desalinated water can be pumped inland, any distance needed, over any mountains.

The reason this isn't being done much, is it takes a lot of energy to do it. So, a shortage of water is really a shortage of cheap energy. Figure out cheap, abundant energy, and water problems are solved.
