The midwest gets more than enough water via rain, so nobody worries about water. Farmers don't irrigate crops, they just accept lower profits in drought years. You might be thinking of the west where water is a problem.

I'm pressing 'X' to doubt, right now:

edit: Maybe I should have said Great Plains, which overlaps, but is not precisely the same as, the Midwest.
We also, unlike the CA Central Valley or the Midwest who are apparently cool with depleting their resources as fast as humanly possible, are acutely aware of our groundwater supply constraints, given that we live in a desert, and practice a lot of aquifer recharge and management.
Intel cleans it, uses it, and dumps it into aquifer recharge, which cleans it even further.
