I think this speaks more to water reusability than where you get the excess. If you can recycle 90% of the water, then you’re water demand will be 10x less and likely easily sustained by rainfall.
Again, it’s a cost analysis between reusing water, i.e. filtration, and desalination. Without numbers, it’s only speculation.
Vegas has been emptying it’s aquifers in less than a hundred years. It took millions to fill them.
Meanwhile, here we have a new golf course, in the middle of the desert! Cool, right?
Vegas is fucked, pretty much, that is no speculation. Other cities will need to make drastic changes in the upcoming decades, and I’ve seen shit all done because noone cares until it blows up in their faces.
