A pioneering study from NASA and the University of California Irvine shows how the Middle East is losing its fresh water reserves. As you can see from the satellite imagery in the video, we’re going from blues and greens, to yellows and reds: that’s 144 cubic kilometers of lost water between 2003 and 2009. What do we mean by “lost water”? Most of it comes from below the Earth’s surface, from water trapped in rocks. In times of drought, we tend to drill for water by constructing wells and pumps. But the Earth has a finite supply. NASA’s scientists say pumping for water is the equivalent of using up your bank savings. And that bank account is dwindling.
To be honest, I'm not surprised. I've been saying that we will run out of resources for years now. I'm sad to say that my predictions are coming true.

And by excited I mean scared out of my god-damned fucking mind.
Nor any drop to drink
The only option I'd see is coupling solar power with desalination plants. It is expensive, sure, but the nations where the issue is most pressing coincidently also have a lot of sun.
