Sam Kinison had scant sympathy for those who made of the desert their desiccated domicile. He was withering.

Arizona’s Sonoran desert has the longest continually-inhabited settlements in North America and, prior to the arrival of Europeans, also the largest and most productive irrigated farming system on the continent. The US (and Mexico) deserts are so drought-stricken today only because of upstream farmers taking unsustainably, draining the rivers and the water table dry for pointless, environmentally-destructive products like almonds, cashews, chickens, and cows.

Building cities in the desert may also be a bit of a drain on the water supply. They’re certainly a risky gamble.

Unlike other US cities, Arizona’s metropolis Phoenix takes water conservation somewhat seriously, maintaining its total water usage at a near constant rate across four decades while its population tripled. It is now investing in full-circle water recycling, with the existing Cave Creek reclamation plant expected to start processing blackwater into potable around 2033. Cities that drain the water supply are rather those built on an expectation of abundance that becomes unsustainable as they grow (which is to say, people used to abundance don’t realise what they have until they’ve lost it).
Anyhow, water use is and has always been primarily attributed to agriculture, with industrial uses trailing far behind and domestic uses a rounding error.

(Correction: 2029. 2033 is the 91st Ave plant.)

Desert cities must also be fed, of course. And desert lawn sprinklers must be constantly replenished.
I’ll tell you what though, rather than this building cities in arid deserts lark, building cities on (or under) water - that may be our growth area. Somebody call that Elon chap.
