I suppose it's worth asking if the water consumption to manufacture the balls is sustainable? I.e., if the plant can produce the balls and the associated water demand on their end can be sustained without adversely affecting supplies (I'm making an assumption that manufacturers are in a different geographical location than drought/implementation sites), the overall project may not be all that efficient or zero sum to do the 1.2 MCF difference, but it very well could be sustainable.
