Not sure how relevant it is but i'm pretty sure if corporations could get away with it they'd privatise water. The head of the Nestle group said as much directly.

I've spent several weeks there and about one day of it wasn't raining. It's glorious. I can't imagine living somewhere like California where you just have sunshine all the time.

I would advise against becoming addicted to water. It would take hold of you, and you will regret its absence.

Boston, Philadelphia, and most of the cities on or near the Great Lakes are pretty well set too. Some may need improved treatment facilities, but otherwise they're all good. (Among other reasons, Philadelphia is set due to both having the same Delaware supply NYC draws from, but also there's a vast aquifer under South Jersey that has remained basically untouched due to abundant surface water).

Do those water maps take into account rivers? Cause I live in the red parts of eastern washington but we have both the Columbia and Yakima within walking distance and generally do fine.

There's actually a good environmental argument for privatizing water with an eye toward creating a powerful stakeholder for conservation, though obviously it'd need to be held by a government utility and not, you know, a for-profit mega-corporation.
