Over 70% of fresh water is used for agriculture. If you're in a water stressed environment it makes more sense to use hydroponics to save water and use the ultra cheap solar electricity for LEDs (which are also getting increasingly more efficient).
One issue is that nuclear plants need to be built to a certain scale that doesn't fit many processes. And permitting is hard. So fossil fuels are used for heat instead.

If nuclear could be used for high temperature heat applications, why hasn't it been used so far? Or it has but I'm not aware of it?
