How Droughts could be different



Smallholder farmers could have a greenhouse-in-a-box

Greywater recycling could be used

Microbial fungus on seeds could restore carbon in soil, promote plant growth, and grow with less water

"Supercrops" / "green revolution" crops could use less irrigation / pesticides and suck nitrogen / carbon out of the air

Treated sewage could provide water

Terraces could be good for climate adaptation / droughts / preventing fires / landslides

Groundwater could be replenished

Enset could be a drought-resistant crop

Trees could be watered by citizens

National water pipelines / aqueducts could be built

Cloud seeding could cause rain to reduce temperatures and cause rain

California could regulate groundwater and create water markets

Almonds, beef, dairy, pistachios, and other water intensive agriculture could be produced in water rich areas

Water wars could be solved

California's water laws could support small farmers during drought

Quinoa, millet, sorghum, fonio, barley, oat, sweet potato, other crops, etc. could better ease malnutrition, water availability, and hunger in developing countries

Ice stupas could provide irrigation and mitigate climate change

Water could be provided to wild animals during droughts
