Cottonseed isn’t the only feedstock for animal agriculture. Soy, grain, and corn are all others.

the fact that your water use numbers, wherever you go, will be tainted with cottonseed or other crops that are actually being conserved by being fed to animals means that your myopic focus on this single metric is not giving you a complete view of the industry.
