Yeah, and I think aquifer depletion would be a pretty big problem this would run into. Irrigating farmland requires ~twice the annual rainfall you get in texas. So terraforming projects might have to import water from the ocean.
I’m also concerned that there might be little-no topsoil.
I considered that. I wonder if you could plant some hardy, dry-climate crop the first few years and till it under to improve the soil composition.
