I would encourage you to google “ogallala depletion” and “water shortage in India”. Not enough rain falls for us to maintain our current level of agriculture so we “mine” reserves of water that were stored in the ground over thousands of years. This is called “groundwater” (you may be unaware of this term), and it renews at a rate far too slow to support the level of agriculture we are accustomed to.
You may also google “western USA water shortage”.
