There are two distinct water issues: 1)quantity and 2)quality. Both issues are primary. Studies are showing that the quantity of pharmaceuticals and hormones that is showing up in ALL of our water supplies and bodies is startling. Our present methods of water purification do not address this issue. There also does not appear to be any studies of the effects of this phenomenon on humans, animals, fish, birds, or the world's food supplies. The possibility of genetic mutation could be real.

It looks like there is not onl the question of enough water = quantity, but also the question of good enough water = quality.
Having the big companies monopolising the water supply, they also determine the quality of the water.

In order to have local water supply, we need more and more systems to make pure, or purified water locally.
As the soil is poluted also, the water purifying should be done by locally good manageable simple systems

I was glad that the house I bought recently had no water supply. Now I can use rainwater. When you do that, you just can't take water for granted.
