Water must cost more. Only then will industry do what you propose. Money talks. The wine grapes are already drip watered and use much less than other crops. New vineyards are planted with drip lines at the same time, that's been standard operating procedure for many years.
Israel has been doing this for decades. Israelite's argue over everything but survival, never saw better team work.
When I was driving north to Haifa I saw citrus groves all irrigated. Everything is grown this way. Strawberries, melons, you name it. Wouldn't be surprised if it was mandated. Looked cool, looked expensive for up front costs but the savings of water. I think it was about 80 - 90%.
I believe they've just finished up a desalinization program. 100% supplied for the country.

Desalinization brings it's own problems.

Like a miracle.
Isaiah 35:
1 The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

2 It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the Lord, and the excellency of our God.

I got a late start on my nightly ramble, so roadwalk was not a PITA like usual. Didn't see a car or lights in 3 1/2 miles walked. There was a storm down at the Gulf, too far away to hear the thunder, but a nice light show when I was going south. (I looked at the radar when I got back, and Cape San Blas is getting rocked, so Port St Joe will be getting it in a few)


Then on the way back, the moon came up. (I really need a camera)
