Obviously this wouldn’t relieve the issues caused by low snowpack and decreasing precipitation, but it could supplement the water used for everyday living or agriculture during times of drought right?

The amount of water necessary in drier areas wouldn’t be satisfied and the fresh water source would dry up.
Fresh water lakes all over the world (most notably the Aral Sea) are drying up as it is, without adding additional stress.
