Why can't “a farmer stop watering his crops”? For example, choosing to grow less crops, or water them less?

  That farmer then goes out of business.

    And gets a new job, like everyone else. If your work doesn't benefit society then why even do it?

      Their work does benefit society, though.

        Depleting the aquifers doesn't benefit society. The minor value gained from exports doesn't weigh up that. Of course we need farmers, but we don't need farmers who do that.
