Some of us don't wear cotton. As cotton is a thirsty plant, maybe go to something else? Certain countries can do it because they got the rainfall. Other places don't have it. Salt resistant wheat or rye. Improve efficiency of canals and watering techniques? They most likely use "flood irrigation" which just evaporates even faster. But man is not known for recreating that, that he destroys. Back in those days, we took and took and never figured out how much money was left in the our account. We have to go bankrupt (or NSF is marked on our checks by the bank) to find out we have to subtract when we spend the money. (Subtract to use up the water) We could have figured it out in the old days (long hand arithmetic) but no leader figures any longer than his years of rule.(stalin - 30 years) so it was never his fault during his time. When you seem to have a lot of water available in the beginning, one does not think about conservation or watering "smartly". We tend to waste the resource. I wonder why he mentioned the Caspian Sea? AFAIK it is salt water, not suitable for irrigation.
