Again though, we were talking about the UK where there is more than enough fresh water to go around. The problem is that we usually mix it with sewage and dump it in rivers or the sea rather than collect it.You can't drink seawater. A clean water source is a problem for billions of people and causes a great deal of suffering, illness and distress. I live on a sub tropical island where desalination is the sole source of clean water. We can afford it. Most can't.
Scarcity of water is always a case of poor planning or infrastructure. If you want to live in a desert then you should plan for getting water first
