Southern California has too many people living in an area which cannot sustain them.

I think it's returned to the sea in more concentrated brine.

the newest RO desalination plants are coming in at $650@acre -foot. (By way of comparison colorado water for LA comes in at about $450@acre foot)
The feds are about to launch a major R&D drive to bring desalination costs down much further--as a lot of new tools have been developed and are currently laying around to be tested and developed.
DeConcini of New Mexico is going to give a speech on the matter on Wednesday 7/14.

Way to go, California!
You waited until you sucked the Colorado River dry before deciding to use that big ocean that's been available to you for years!
P.S. What are all those environmental wackos going to say?
Why not go all the way. A nuke/de-salinization combo. Dependance on the CO River is foolhardy. Folks in CO have been
on retrictions for years now. I know people who*s well dried up two years ago, and have been hauling water for that long; just for simple things in life: like flushing the toilet.

Capecodder is on the money. To desalinize seawater is energy intensive; it will probably take nuclear plants to support it.

Isn't it interesting Willie that many, if not most, of California's great engineering problems are driven by the consequences of illegal immigration.
You'd think that comparing the cost of immigration enforcement against the cost of desalinization, or the cost of a rapid rail system, or the cost of a huge electric inter-tie and grid would be a no brainer wouldn't you?

You think the state of California is going to allow the construction of a nuclear power plant?
Even if they wanted one, from what I understand, the regulations are so stringent that it's virtually impossible to do it.

The feds are about to launch a major R&D drive to bring desalination costs down much further--as a lot of new tools have been developed and are currently laying around to be tested and developed. There already is a solution .... nuclear plants powering steam desalinization ...
But the NIMBY boys and girls in SoCal would lose their minds

(Many a law, many a commandment have I broken, but my word never.)
Desalination plants, water catchments, pipelines, aqueducts, reservoirs, etc = jobs and water.

You think the state of California is going to allow the construction of a nuclear power plant? Can you say "Diablo Canyon" and "San Onofre"?
