No, there is plenty of water. The problem is that the vast majority of Earth's water is contained in the oceans as saltwater, and must be desalinated before it can be used for drinking or farming.
Large-scale desalination can be done, but it is expensive.
Tantalizing as desalinated water might sound, the energy costs have made it rather unpalatable.
