There are many infrastructure projects that can help a little bit. However historically land acquisition has been very difficult (unlike say China) which meant projects kept on extending. A lot of it is also because of corruption that the system enabled. However it is improving much faster now. In terms of water security a low hanging fruit is agricultural policy, however due to the politically tricky thing it is , it is not an easy solution. There are 10s of different problems when it comes to issues such as resolving water and it is not due to lack of will. A classic example in my state is that rich farmers (< 5%) hoard all the resources (land, water, free energy and subsidies) cultivating cash rich crops and poor farmers have to survive on subsistence. Average land holdings are very small and in my state agri output is directly proportional to amount of water you have access to, either by being close to a water body or some groundwater.
