は正しいですか？

需要は demand です。供給 supply とセットで覚えましょう。

In some countries, the demand for water has already exceeded its supply.

「exceeded」は、「surpassed」でも良いです。少し言葉を変えて、同じ意味のことを次のように表現できます。参考までに。

In some countries, the supply of water has already fallen short of its demand.

Some countries are grappling with a situation where the demand for water outweighs its supply.
