This could be a great thing for the environment though. I see a future where most people live in cities and the vast majority of land is preserved. Ecotourism would be huge. Imagine the buffalo once again roaming the US because there’s no more farmland to break up their habitat.

I used ChatGPT to combine data from this report and the USDA Ag census to do a back of the envelop calculation on how much water will be saved in a certain region and what would happen if most of that water made it back to the dying lake it was diverted from.
