How robust is the system and how well does it deal with shocks to the system? Redundancey is expensive and inefficient but potentially life saving.
How long can crops be without water before you have crop failure? This clearly depends on the crop, but it might just be a day or two, or it might be weeks. Most of our food comes from crops that do fail quickly if there is not water.
