“Believe or not, those WOKE’s are worrying about polluting the ocean by discarding this salty water into it!!! Seriously!
Unbelievable!”
No kidding. I mean, sea salt is a common condiment and can be found in any grocery store. I’d think it would be no great stretch to collect the “discarded” salt from the desalination plant and process it for marketing as a condiment.
That isn’t the info we’ve been getting. Several years of lower snow pack has caused the reservoirs to lower. Now this past Winter did get an average or better than usual snow pack but it wasn’t enough to make up for years of less snow.
Like I said; a ballooning population and wasteful ways with water plus less water flow into the reservoirs has taken its toll.
We can disagree but it doesn’t change the fact that Lake Mead is nearing the bottom of its useful pool level.
I’m not an oceanographer but if salt is removed and not returned to the ocean; over time it will change the salt content which would be bad for the ocean life. Seems to me there’s an easy way to run pipes out to sea with multiple holes in them to spread the high salt content water around so it wouldn’t do any harm. Same with intake pipes so that the intakes have low suction pressure to minimize harm to ocean life.

Perhaps you should change where you are getting your information and avoid those who are propagandizing glowbull warming.
I lived in Colorado from 1984 to 2022. The snowpack reports started becoming politicized in the 1990’s. Adjectives and adverbs started becoming doom and gloom. The reports always mention glowbull warming, or now ‘climate change’ since they got busted with no provable warming.
Colorado has a 20 year weather cycle, from dry to wet. Anyone trying to analyze the weather and is using shorter cycles than that is an ignorant idiot that doesn’t know Colorado’s weather.
I don’t believe in the global warming hoax so I’m not sure where you’re getting that.
The climate is cyclical. This subject is about man made manipulation of the weather that the video at the link talks about. I know some of it sounds like tin foil hat stuff but the man doing most the talking does know the subject well and is well versed in it. Is it all true? I doubt it but there is enough truth in it that I think warrants a hard look. Plus the reservoirs are almost down to zero pool level which means no water and no power from the hydroelectric dams. This is a fact no one can deny. What happened in Colorado is pretty much irrelevant in comparison.
After the scamdemic and what the globalists/leftists/RINO’s managed to do with that nonsense and still do; I’m open to more out of the box thinking than I was before then. We have massive drought in parts of the world will massive flooding in others. This does sound like some kind of unnatural manipulation has been done. The technology goes back to at least the 60’s.
That doesn’t change the issue.
The effluent is very high salinity and toxic. Enough so that it will kill at the out fall.
If the currents push enough of the effluent to the inlets, you destroy the RO membranes or foul the evaporators.
All that doesn’t even touch the power requirements, which is well beyond what the grind can support.
This is going to be billions of gallons. It isn’t feasible. Most of the population in desert areas are going to have to move or die. You can not support millions of people in a place where you import or use wells for your water. It always ends the same.
