Cheap solar in the west (California, Arizona, Nevada) coupled with desalination plants. We'll be fine for *urban/residential* water needs for the foreseeable future.

The current plan is to pay for a plant in Mexico in exchange for them to give up their share of water from the Colorado River Compact.

Not that crazy to have a pipeline from California to Ariz/Nev.

With Ariz/Nev supply Cali with their excess solar to the desal plants.
