I think what Q was referring to the elites buying up water rights all around the globe. They want to control the water. Controlling water is controlling the people. It is the most required thing in living beings. Now the OP's post could fit into Q's meaning, Because why would the state be draining reservoirs just ahead of drought season? Curtail irrigation hurts farmers and the food supply, thus hurting the populace. Just my theory on "Watch The Water".
