Quote HistoryQuoted: If only they had a giant body of water next to them and maeans for abundant clean energy by splitting atoms to desalinate it. That might relive their water and power issues all at once. To be fair, California can’t be trusted with rubber knives at this point. No nukes for third world nations upwind of the rest of us. Put it all in New York so the fallout of government failure destroys Europe, and make them pay to ship the water by rail. |

10 years ago i was part of a team that was proposing to build 25 combined cycles and piggyback desal plants to each of them up the coast of california. Idiot environmental groups through a fit about a 60' diameter hot brine discharge that sealife always.... swims around. They mothballed that and continued to run out of date power systems and pull from the snowpack up north for water.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Holy shit what a joke of a fine. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: A $2,000 fine per 326,000 gallons of water.  That's not going to stop golf courses from keeping the fairway green. Holy shit what a joke of a fine. Essentially a $.006 per gallon water tax. This says the average California golf course uses 90 million gallons of water per year. That’s an additional $552,147 of tax revenue for each average golf course. $20 says the additional tax revenue won’t go into any programs that’ll actually help their water supply issues during real droughts. |

What was their reason for closing it? Didn't close it - it wasn't built. It was in the planning stages. Killed because removing some water from seawater makes it more salty, and pouring that back into the ocean would upset the natural balance and make the entire pacific a dead zone within 15 minutes. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Doesn't agriculture account for roughly 95% of California's water use? I seem to remember reading that recently. It’s not quite that high, but any measures people take to conserve water has about a 0.00087% to 0.00% affect. Plus, if you drive around, you’ll see sprinkler heads gushing water along interstates/state highways and at state and city properties. There’s zero enforcement from what I’ve seen when these measures are implemented, at least in my area. We need more desal and less dependence on Colorado river water, which actually in the big scheme of things, is a small percentage of total water usage here anyway. 4 million acre feet per year. |

There are some Central Valley members here.
So, the last time that I passed though, all sorts of trees were uprooted. New crops? Last week I saw grapes and citrus. Looked like new crops. How does this affect the farmers? Switching from one crop to another. Water is apparently still an issue. Signs showing displeasure with the Governor. |

That is its climate, at least for the last several 1000 years or so. Not so much as you think. We killed a fuckton of beaver in the US, the missing beaver population is roughly the human population today. That's a huge amount of water that used to be slowed down and infiltrated. CA used to have a lot more water, and more water used to be transpired/evaporated across the SW states. Quoted: Good. CA needs to fix their own water problems. They need some pain first to give them a kick in the ass. One advantage to being on the wet side in the PNW- the well never seems to run out of water, no matter how much we use. Fucking raining today in fact... It isn't the rain. Much of the SE gets more rain than the PNW does, just get thunderstorms instead of drizzle for a month. It's the mountain snowpack that really makes a difference. |

They have had decades to prepare for this. The fossil record indicated that huge decades long mega droughts have happened in the past. California has spent over a century bullying and steeling water from neighboring states while squandering it like drunken sailors. For years efforts at installing water desalinization plants have been stymed by the green lobby. Instead billions have been spent building bullet trains to nowhere.
Now the bills are coming due after decades of incompetence. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: HAHAHAHAHAHA, 8 million acre feet of water has been released into the ocean through the delta since October. there is no real "drought". Just a plan to manipulate the sheep into compliance. You may want to research the Colorado River levels...... There is a drought, but there is also excessive use from the Kalifornia farms in the middle of the desert. No new technologies used and they refuse to adapt to the Israeli designs, which even Mexico has began to embrace. We also need to remember they just vetoed another desalination plant last month. |

When they ask why I’m wasting water I tell ‘‘em the Great Lakes more than handle our needs and how nice it is to have it running as background noise. Then I ask if they enjoy using their pool as a skate park. |

Interesting comment from a related thread.
My fear is that they will force the Imperial valley to go to the "efficient" drip irrigation systems instead of the current "wasteful" flood irrigation. Yes, they will save some water, and in about 50 years there will be so much salt built up in the soil that they will no longer be able to grow any crops. It is currently happening in Israel, the inventors of today's "efficient" irrigation systems which drip the water directly to the crop plants and be absorbed and then evaporated by the plant leaves, leaving the salts in the irrigation water in accumulate in the soil. Flood irrigation where water is flowed across the fields, and then allowed to run-off back into the river, allows the salts to be washed away by the excess irrigation water. |

That might relive their water and power issues all at once. At some point we are going to have to cut California off the Colorado river and force the to do this since inland states don't have that option. Desalinated water is about 200x more expensive than surface water. This is the equivalent of asking why Arizonans don't power their air conditioners by having day laborers ride bicycle generators. |

Depends on how you do the math, it's about 80% of withdrawals unless you count letting water flow to the sea as a "use," then it is like 40%. There are a lot of people that would just use all the water and don't give a shit about the plants and animals that need it to survive. |
