One solution to water shortages is to transfer water form one basin to another. Rivers can be diverted or canals built. All water transfers carry political and environmental risk
Two contrasting examples:
1. The Snowy Mountains Scheme (p52-53)
Also see the Snowy River wikipedia entry
2. The South-North Transfer project (p63)
Good video story
