It really depends on where you live. In Australia, fresh water is relatively scarce, and desalination is a difficult and expensive process. Any water used ends up in the ocean or another unusable location.

Seems like in a sustainable world, people shouldn't be living there. and the fact that it is Australia tells me people only live there because of some kind of subsidized extraction economy, which shouldn't be happening at all.
