I disagree. The earth has more water than it needs. We have the technology to make fresh water out of sea water. We have the technology to make water out of thin air. It is just going to cost us more to have, there will be no shortage of water.

De-salination in not very energy efficient and is really expensive, and all cloud seeding does is take water from the air that would have otherwise went to another area eventually.
For the same reason people went for the easily accessible oil before they went for the oil sands, they will want the easily accessible water before they go for the hard to get stuff.
