I generally know science, I’m more into electronics myself so I will plead ignorance here but is there a way to water crops artificially? Can you get a bunch of guys and hoses, hook them up to a spigot and let er rip? How about loading one of those planes they use to fight fires with a load of water and dump them on the crops, will that work? Just curious and trying to come up with ideas as I brainstorm. Maybe we can be like Saudi Arabia and turn seawater into fresh water and move it inland to use on crops.
Aquaponics.
it takes 27,000 gallons of water to put an inch of rain on an acre of ground.
