Can anyone suggest a correct answer ?

Students are asked to finish this sentence:

When there is not enough water people............................................................

One student wrote like this:

When there is not enough water people move to a new place where the water is,

That sounds strange, does n`t it?

How about this? (I`d write like this:)

When there is not enough water people move to a new place where there is water.

Thank you for your help.

I would count his answer as correct because, as there is a finite amount of water, which moves from place to place on the Earth via the weather �s water cycle, we can say "move to where the water is".
