I don't think we will see a shortage of water anytime soon, personally. Simply because we can pull it from thin air - we don't have to pull it all from the ground.
My mom has worked in the water industry almost her entire career, please believe that we are now in the midst of a water shortage and it will get much worst. However, the next step after using up most of our natural fresh water sources will be desalinization of ocean water, which is something that the military does not but it's extremely expensive. Until we're able to find a cost effective way of desalinization, we're going to have a huge water crisis.
