Irrigation problems:
-Salinization
-decreased water supply for other areas/using up ground water
-runoff full of pesticides and fertilizer, or contaminated water (ranches)
Agricultural Solutions:
-eat your food, do not waste it (takes a lot of water to produce it)
-Eat plants
-Drought resistant crops/GMOs
-Vertical indoor farming
-hydroponic/aquaponic
