I mean truly running out of water is going to be very hard with the ocean sitting right there. We can desalinate water now. It’s just more expensive than pretty much every other way of getting it. The only thing more expensive would be gathering hydrogen from space and combining it with oxygen.

Also water doesn’t disappear. The water cycle recycles it. It all pretty much eventually hits the ocean. It isn’t getting ‘used up’, just getting less accessible.
