Right, so agricultural was a bad example.
Not really. Look at California agriculture. You've got immense and unsustainable amounts of water going to almonds, pistachios, and other cash crops (not to mention animal feed for the Saudis) with voracious demand for more water, despite it causing damage to the water sources.
If you can't imagine a world without eating meat, yes.
The big problem crop for water in California is almonds.
The big problem crop for water in Australia is cotton.
The big problem crop for water anywhere is not beef
