I allowed my villagers to water and water and water, until I came to the conclusion that this is going to be a futile task. So, I hunted around, and actually found another, seeming important task, so I diverted them to that. Now, I have zombies doing that, but that's not a bad thing. I do not want to say what "that" is, for fear of spoiling the game for some players.

Unfortunately, I found "that" maybe too late. No crops, no berries, only at stage 2 harvesting, and not enough points to go fishing yet. And, my villagers are starving to death. I have them researching like crazy to make it to 50000 points for harvesting, but I don't think they are going to make it.

Hence, I believe I may have to start my game over. I'll wait until they all die, which isn't going to be much longer now. At least, I'll know what to do in my next iteration of my village life.

Hope this helps.
