If we were to compare it to a transaction, I think something like California exporting alfalfa to Saudi Arabia might make more sense. We've only but so much water to use and it's far from absurd to question if it makes sense to let our limited resources get drained for exporting things elsewhere.

if it didnt make sense, woupdnt the water be going to something else?

the incentives might not be set up for the best market, but Saudi Arabia im sure is willing to outbid just about any other use for that water
