"Plenty of fresh water"

I think this is highly dependent on specific location and the source. Things tend to get more arid around the western half of KY and OH. The Aquifer running under much of the plains-y areas is expected to run dry in the next 30 years. Who knows how weather patterns might affect it further.

That's interesting and I didn't know about that! I think at least in the great lakes area things should be ok, but who knows for sure what long term changes may happen.

Yeah, I think there's enough lake effect precipitation in that general area. The area in jeopardy is further west.
