Things that will happen when the world finaly grows too large for the water supply/food supply to cope:
1) war & starvation
2) new tech developed to make it cheaper to make clean water
3) Soy will be grown instead of beef (and later maybe even just mushrooms) - this makes food production use less water
4) Zero population growth rate will be mandated (like in china)
5) wastes of water outlawed - no more pools, take a shower less often like in europe, & maybe no more lawns (lawns might be kept so that we dont end up with a "dust" storm like way back when)
sure theres plenty more stuff that will probably happen; heck we might even start drinking blood if it gets too much of a shortage *read Dune - the Fremen (sp?)*
