    reducing irrigation is absolute. it doesnt matter if it was 100% for human consumption, it must go down.

      Damn if only we had a centrally planned economy that could mobilize industry to build out water-efficient irrigation systems across the entire effected area. Alas, that would be communism!

      Capitalism is the dumbest economic system.

      Agreed, but making it go down by eliminating the large part of it used for livestock feed would no doubt drastically help, which was jack's original (and valid) point.
