It's already happening in Texas.
The demand for water has gotten to the point where there are hydroelectric dams can't operate in a profitable manor because they have to save water for summer so when something breaks the hydroelectric portion gets decommissioned.
People tend to build towns near rivers and lakes so the government would have to move a whole town or city to build a dam.

There is only 1 or 2 ways to get water when it doesn't rain, there are lots of was to get power.
Texas is not energy poor, but they can become water poor during a good drought.

Why isn't someone telling us we are all going to die if we don't switch everything over to renewables and can't use nuclear power.
