Most on this site won’t need to worry 25 years from now. But their heirs will be far more capable of coming up with solutions for improving quality of many things
Some of that is covered in the SWFWMD Water Restrictions FAQ.

My cynical interpretation: by imposing restrictions on current users, the numbers can be manipulated to show there is no need to limit lucrative new developments. And besides that, any issues arising 25 years from now will be someone else's problem.
