When this discussion about the water deprived southwest comes up, I have seen the suggestion crop up repeatedly to halt agriculture in California, Utah, and Arizona that require a lot of water, and the followup is usually to suggest shifting those agricultural practices and crops north and east. I don't think growing almonds in Mississippi or Alabama will help much. It's just be exporting the problems elsewhere.
