There is enough fresh water for all those people, it just is not conveniently distributed around the globe. Thats said with that extra 70% left over, there are plenty of resources to build and power desalination plants where necessary.

We could also rethink the ways we use water like using grey water or rain water for things like toilet flushing etc.
