Where’s the water for new housing tracts?

Why are they are still building new housing tracts when we don’t have enough water to support them?

We already have a drought and are not supposed to water what green we have/had for our own housing. More homes will need more water. So I want to know where all these new houses going to get their water, when we have none left for the people who already live here.
