CA has plenty of water flowing down from the Sierras. They let it flow to the sea.

Not when Newsom’s $250,000 donors own all the water...

There was a desalinization project going forward in Huntington Beach

Desalination is to make it potable. Not necessary for fire fighting purposes. AND...right now...they have scoop and dump planes using ocean water. The wind is one of the biggest problems...maybe empty resevoirs, too.

Disgusting leadership.

There is more than enough water under proper management. Newsome closed a dam and is letting all the water run out to the ocean. They also need more firemen and proper maintenance of the firetrucks. I saw a video where many firetrucks were in storage due to not enough money for maintenance. Karen Bass reduced the fire department’s budget and increased the money for illegals.

Re-build the dams which hail gel Newsom removed. Much cheaper than desalinization.

Dams collect rain & river water instead of let it flow into the ocean. Dams can also generate electric power.

There was a company that spent many millions to put a proposal together for a LARGE desalinization plant. The proposal was unanimously rejected because it would require electricity to run and thereby contribute to Global Warming.

Why they ever thought they had a chance of approval totally alludes me.

The *drought* is man-made.

Poor decisions on use of the water supply has led to the fiasco that we’re seeing now.

No! Big water, the corrupt controlling the water, are not interested in plentiful water.

They want everyone under threat of drought so they can charge them up them up the ying yang.

Big water is big money. And they aim to keep it that way.

“Is desalination the future…”

No.

The waste product is salt has to be disposed.

Sell the salt? No, that would have been the solution to the Salton Sea fiasco which has no solution.

The waste salt would have to been dumped into the Pacific Ocean which would kill the Delta Smelt due to increased salinity of the ocean.

Long live the Delta Smelt.

There is no drought in California, except of competent leadership.
