In regard to the above word button article I was thinking that Texas and California and Florida cities nearer the coast and ocean might be okay during the next 30 years or more because if worse came to worse they could desalinate the ocean water if necessary. However, cities inland more than 50 to 100 miles might have much more difficulty in regard to water. Another choice is to recycle water though like Astronauts do in space within a relatively closed system so you even recycle urine back at least into gray water uses like flushing toilets and watering plants though you might not choose to drink recycled and reprocessed water from urine. Each home could be a relatively closed system of water where water could be filtered and reprocessed for use again and again like the astronauts do.
Another choice is hauling water to a place that doesn't have it from a place that does. I have written before about before we were given pipes on the High Desert near Yucca Valley we installed a 1200 gallon water tank installed at roof level for gravity feed water at first on my father's land in 1968 and had water hauled by water tanker truck from Joshua Tree, California. One of the interesting things about Joshua Tree Water is that it appears to come underground all the way from Mt. Shasta because it has the exactly the same minerals and chemicals as Mt. Shasta water does. So, possibly there are lava tubes or something connecting Mt. Shasta to Joshua Tree underground.
