In anticipation of California losing 10% of its water supply by 2040, Gov. Gavin Newsom and state water officials unveiled a multi-pronged plan Thursday to adapt to hotter conditions and bolster the Golden State’s water supply in the coming years.
The 16-page plan outlines goals to target the state’s water supply by developing additional space to capture and store water, diversifying the state’s water portfolio through desalination and reducing water demand. The plan also underlines the importance of accelerating the modernization of California’s water system to replenish the water California will lose due to hotter and drier seasons.
Speaking from a desalination plant in Contra Costa County on Thursday, Newsom told reporters that the plan highlights the “renewed sense of urgency” to address the state’s water supply and sets particular numerical goals and deadlines in anticipation of harsher weather conditions.
“What we are focused on is creating more supply, what we are focused on is creating more water,”

He’s a moron and a god ?
Oh my, the same sort of thing happened in the Soviet Union (both financially and with it’s lakes and seas).
could really make some gains if CA lost newsome and all dems
Newsom is a moron - who thinks he is a god.
Ways to save water don’t include curtailing infinity number of illegals and other migrants - and building massive apartment structures to house them all.
WE are under strict water mandates - NO outdoor watering for two weeks (will be extended, I’m sure), water rates soaring, water police going around in vans checking for wet sidewalks - while massive apartment complexes are going up on the edges of town.
They’re a bunch of hypocrites of the worst sort- yet idiot voters will continue to vote them in.
Just stop dumping water
‘Capture and store water’ would work. Whatever is cheaper.
They should capture raw sewage and have it identify as fresh water.
The last time CA was viable was when Regan was Guv.
He must be referring to the de-salinization plant that was just nixxed in So Cal:
California regulator rejects desalination plant despite historic drought
California regulators on Thursday rejected a $1.4 billion desalination plant on environmental grounds, dealing a setback to Governor Gavin Newsom, who had supported the project as a partial solution for the state's sustained drought.
Newsom is grade-A scum, BUT — the desalination plants are a good idea. California should have built them decades ago.
QUIT DESTROYING THE DAMS!!!!
They LIE about "endangered species" with no concern for mankind.
Here’s a thought. Why not ask the Saudis for some water? Oh, wait.
If these idiots had spent the money and resources they have wasted on the idiotic wind and solar farms and spent it on desalination they would not be a water shortage.
“additional space to capture and store water”
How about fully utilizing reservoirs you already have? Or at least not knocking them down in the name of some crackpot biodiversity scheme?
Moron yes. god know.
They just (or recently) rejected a desal plant proposal.
How about cutting the amount being poured out of shasta resivour gav ?
The Sacramento River is almost flooding its banks
(anderson, ca)
they are pouring it out so fast.
A complete cad is Gavin.
He is completely disconnected from the real world by some form of brain parasite ideology.
