    Well, yes, but many regions that are going to have water supply issues aren’t near the animal ag farms. Closing a dairy farm in New Hampshire isn’t going to help things in central Africa. The bigger culprit is Climate Change bringing dry air flows to areas that previously had more humidity and precipitation.

      Closing a dairy farm does actually help. It means less CO2 in the air, less climate change, and thus less dry air in central Africa.

      For the water itself you are correct, but animal farms are very much a reason of climate change.
