A pure MOF based irrigation system that produces enough on demand seems a little far fetched but you don't have to go that far to see something like this as potentially powerful. You could run this thing all year and store the water underground and that could have some cool consequences. Imagine an area with good soil that gets enough rain to take plants 60% of the way through their growing season. Something like this might be able to supplement that supply enough to make it practical to grow there. Or, regions that are normally good for growing but have regular droughts could maybe use it to offset the reduced water. Or, if you can store up enough water through winter, maybe you could run a conventional irrigation system purely off the water from the MOFs. Maybe transporting water is already a way better mitigation to the above scenarios. It really depends on how fast and cheap you can deploy something like this.
