The solutions I know about:

1) Move surface water from somewhere else to where it's needed. Liable to be expensive, and the surface water is mostly 'spoken for.'

2) Mine fossil water from deep aquifers. Fine until they run out.

3) Desalinate ocean water. Need plenty of energy.

I don't think a technological magic wand solves this problem.
