We all know what is coming next.
It’ll all get washed away by The Great Flood of 2015.

You’d expect that... unless you live in California, and are familiar with the jackasses who run the state from their ivory towers in Sacramento.

...Eight pumps will push 54-million gallons of water 10 miles uphill every day...
Sounds like a good job for a nuclear power plant.

Sounds like a good job for a nuclear power plant. They have San Onofre nearby.
Oh, wait... they shut that down.
Never mind.

It is expensive as water goes, but it will cost less than 1 penny per gallon.Unless you are an illegal, then it's free... access to clean drinking water is a human right, you know.

When is the EPA and the california environuts going to shut it down?I'll give it a year before some environmental loon files suit and another six months after that before an Obama appointed judge orders it shutdown.

10 miles uphill? Doggone it....BUT! There’s a downhill side, right? EASY! Just put some turbine generators in the pipes on the down hill side and let the 54 MG/day run it!......../s

Even it the system was closed pipe all the way from the DESAL plant to the consumer, some butt wipe econut would find some kind of pipe rat, slug or amoebic slime in the pipes that would be ‘endangered’ and get it banned.
They’re actually Luddites and human haters is what they are.

Well, this will also lower the ocean water level near there. Since the global warming geniuses decided oceans near California were rising faster than other places.

"How much will the consumer pay for that water? $5 per gallon?"That's the price for bottled water in Washington DC. The Israelis pay less than a hundredth of that for their desalinated water.

I don't know what it costs in California, but in Israel desalination costs 40 cents per cubic meter, which is less than 1/6 penny per gallon. Source:

People decided to live in a desert area and then want all the vegetation of a wetter area.And open bodies of water known as swimming pools evaporate a lot of water.climate
Bathing for cleanliness needn’t require 50 gallons of water per person per day;cleanliness can be achieved with 1/10 that amount.And that waste water could go to lawns.
Lawn sprinklers and such that imitate rain are not the most efficient way to provide water to plants.
What California needs most is the citizens coming to their senses and tossing the radical enviromentalists and socialists.

Israel has produced most of its water through desalination for decades.
You aren’t going to be able to assert that their water is more expensive than the surrounding Arab countries.
