Desalination plant could be good option. Countries like Kuwait are Desalinating the Ocean water to make it potable. India has a large coastline and this could be a viable option.

Desalination consumes too much energy. we are energy deficient. Countries like Kuwait have oil like water, Countries like India have water like Oil. (thats figuratively speaking), but we have a dual problem of oil AND water.
we'd rather go for a sustainable development. plant more trees everywhere. look after whatever streches of forest, build tanks and lakes all over the country, go for drip irrigation, water harvesting. its easily possible without going in for expensive de-salination.
