The NASA picture above shows the overpumping in the Eastern Mediterranean (except in Israel). Irrigated agriculture is becoming impossible, and yields are falling. It is said that ISIS was born in the impoverished northeast of Syria during a multiyear drought. The Turkish heartland is done, baked, and destined for rural stress and rebellion. Another country that has overdrawn its water resources is Yemen. The current situation is unsustainable.
We could grow jatt here and export it to Yemen because they have used up the little groundwater they had.
