Absolutely can work.

Can these people build it and run it effectively for the foreseeable future without problems?

Unlikely.

California is lost. The people there have been so indoctrinated that they will vote Democrat, regardless of the idiotic and destructive things that Dem politicians do to them.

Aye, now that's the real question. It's not the process ... it's the people running the process.

California has been in the toilet for a long time. Soaking in it and drinking the contents is nothing new for them.

would purify up to 150 million of the 250 million gallons per day

first uses microorganisms to remove ammonia and other nitrogen compounds from the water;

and only 1/10 as salty as sea water

= = =

So, now there is 100 million gallons per day, with 250 million gallons worth of poop in it.

Where are they putting this poop, who is cleaning the filters, etc.

And how about those poor little microorganism, now loaded with that nasty nitrogen?

And only 1/10 as salty as sea water, so we can dilute it down with good water, and you can get used to it. And just what ‘salt’ is in the water?

They don’t even need to ‘vote’ any more.

The Dems will do that for them....................

Guess what? All the water in the world was someone’s toilet water once upon a time.

Same place they're putting it now. The effluent from a modern wastewater treatment plant is nearly drinkable, and generally cleaner than the body of water into which it is discharged.

How much water does a Aircraft carrier need to carry for the 5000 plus sailors? None! Why because they convert sea water to fresh water (this is the same with cruise ships). Too bad California is not next to a large body of water that they could use the same technology for their three largest urban areas (San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco).

Rain water has been evaporated, not filtered. That being said, it contains a condensation nucleus (dust, sulfuric acid, whatever). And is not fluoridated, so the same precautions as with well water apply.

Guess desalination plants are to complicated for California to understand.

Had to look twice. At first I thought this was from The Bee.

Glad it’s CA and not here.
