And there's a water shortage?

No! There's a water delivery problem.

And water quality problem. Ocean water has 996 times more salt than what we can stand to drink (0.128 g/ gallon ) vs 127.573 g /gallon. That's like 0.28 pounds of salt and minerals in a gallon of water. Fortunately there's a couple guys at Stanford that have figured out an electronic method of removing salt and other stuff from water without the need of filters. It's slow and therefore takes a bit of surface area, but it is low power and with a bit of crowd funding could transform the world. https://news.stanford.edu/2020/06/01/desalination-solution/
