Everybody keeps bitching about how much water agriculture requires, but I don’t see them telling people to EAT LESS.
Also- the water goes onto the field, waters the plant, and then filters back down into the aquifer.
I live in rural N Nevada & when city people move into the valleys here, the first thing they howl about is how much ‘water is being wasted on all those fields’. I know one man who refuses to learn how the watering cycle works, and he uses plenty of the products those fields produce. A whole group of us gave up trying to educate him.
