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.
