Surprising what you find wandering round Google. Would you believe in a state which has always been short of water(Texas) they grow 7% of USA's rice!
The fields are flooded 3 to 4 inches deep for several weeks twice a year(2 crops) and there are hundreds of big rice farms. The farmers get the water 20 times cheaper than the townspeople.
So fracking is causing a water shortage??
