They could, if a practical way were found, import all the devastating-annual-flood water from, say, Bangladesh, boil it so no weird bugs or germs survive, and ship it to Tsavo. Save the elephants and buffalo and lions and all the other charismatic mega-fauna, plus ease off the tens-of-thousands death tolls that plague parts of the southern Asian coastal areas. Impractical, but hey, we can dream, right?
There's also a mining site at one of the border areas of Tsavo that is the only source known for a variety of green garnet creatively named tsavorite. But wildlife is a big draw in the area, even though Tsavo in its normal state gets so hot that male lions do not grow manes because they'd die of heat stroke if they did! Driving around watering wild animals in that kind of climate takes some serious nerve and dedication. I think Cape buffalo, visible in the 2nd and 3rd pics, are second only to hippos as the most human-dangerous megafauna in Africa--buffalo are into bullying, intimidation, and believe it or not appear to have an idea what "revenge" means.
I watch way too many nature documentaries.
