Yer thinkin small time Dazz. Yes, Kirigakure has water, but they also have a monopoly on something far more important than that.

Trade Routes.

If they wanted to spark an economy they probably invested a lot in shipping company's and devising new trade routes. They probably expanded their operations to the other continent that has the Land of Swamp, the Land of Demons, the Land of somethin or whatever. They opened up trade routes between Kumo and these countries, these countries and Konoha.

They'd have a monoply on this, their navigators are probably the best the world, and more than that their shinobi are the best at protecting trade vessels from pirate attack.
