They'd be better off, imo, increasing their local surface water capacity, and increasing desal, combined with a deeper ground pull. The problem isn't that they're doing the wrong things. The problem is that the rate of change in their entire regions climate is outpacing their efforts, the drought only made that immediately apparent.
Had their planning not been borked by infighting and grift and general complacency they'd have already completed (more of) their planned improvements.
The most immediate solution is deeper wells. That's why those who have the cash to do it are drilling them.
