I also saw miles and miles of dried up farm land with no water to irrigate it, because all the local water sources were dried up and I'm sure there is a lot more to come of that.. (saw countless rivers and lakes that show on Google maps that were bones dry)

Granted we have to farm but we should be doing it where there isn't a need to irrigate constantly due to the area not being fit to grow crops.
