Don’t tell the EPA! They’ll just contaminate it.

A lot of municipal wells are 3,000 feet deep

Its all doable

Just want to do it, which California would rather complain about the drought then fix their problems. Liberals are weird like that, they love to complain

Trump said the drought was fake. People sneered. What he meant was, the solutions are at hand, but are being prevented by eco-nazis.

Proposals for desalinization plants, meet a lot of opposition, from environmentalists with outrageous claims.

The biggest such plant opened about 1 1/2 year ago, in Carlsbad.

A similar plant is proposed for Huntington Beach, CA.

Ignorant article at best. Wells on the Westside and other places to obtain deep aquifer water cost as much as $1,000,000.00 to drill going down 1,500 feet or more for a production well. The quality is not always that great. Even still California state law is now forcing water district’s and counties to limit pumping to safe yield to prevent lowering the water levels and subsidence. Coastal areas have already depleted the fresh water levels so much salt water intrusion will destroy the water quality from the ocean. There is no magic aquifer and the central region is pumping more than 1 million acre feet of groundwater and close to the same by state contractors in the south valley. The drought has already pushed pumping past the safe limits before the San Luis Project was built and now the state lets all of the fresh water go out the sea through the San Francisco Bay to protect an already extinct smelt that exists everywhere else. In the delta the Striped Bass eat all the smelt and juvenile salmon and blame the problem on the pumps. After a decade of limited pumping the smelt and salmon just got worse because of junk science and liberal politics and liberal biology. But no fear we have a magic aquifer. Nonsense, and criminal negligence as the Westside turns into a dust bowel. Turn the dang delta pumps on, build more storage, and raise Shasta dam.
