Don’t they live near an ocean?
Getting desalination plants constructed has been a problem due to NIMBY and BANANA resistance there, not to mention the rest of the ecomentalists. Also, their power grid isn’t stable, which is required for desalination.
Build a mini nuke plant next to a desalinization plant. Use bullet train funds.
That’s the practical solution, but it’s CA. They won’t do it. So they’ll die of thirst next to a water source for lack of common sense.
So use public infrastructure money in a way that actually benefits the public and addresses a real problem? In California?
Seems extraordinarily unlikely.
Is California still doing this?
California Releasing Water from Reservoirs, Claiming Drought Conditions
The state has wasted enough water to meet the needs of 80 million people for a year
By Katy Grimes, April 7, 2021
Millions won’t go thirsty.
They will divert if from....farmers.
They did this to themselves by opening up reservoirs and lett6 water pour into pacific Ina an evil attempt to save the planet.
Sorry Californians....the Delta smelt and other “rare” creatures take precedent first.
Better start recycling your piss like Costner did in Waterworld.
This is in the desert…
Plans for a resort community with wave park boasting technology created by world champion pro surfer Kelly Slater will be the topic of a joint La Quinta City Council and Planning Commission study session on Tuesday. The plans have brought loud opposition from nearby residents.
Coral Mountain Resort — with a 150-room hotel, 16.6-acre private-use wave pool and up to 600 residential units including custom homes — is planned for 386 acres of mostly vacant land on the southwest corner of Avenue 58 and Madison Street.
Water water everywhere with not a bit to drink. Start building desalination facilities and pipelines and provide clean water to the state. Take all those homeless and put them to work. The money saved on social spending would pay for the project 100 fold.
Geez, do laymen have to come up with all the solutions?

California desert updates: Wave pools still target 2022-23 launch
Feb 25, 2021 ... ... on the four surf parks planned for the Coachella Valley in 2022-23. ... Wet N’ Wild water park on Gene Autry Trail in Palm Springs.
As if the drug-raddled mentally ill homeless are capable of work.
Or you could secure the borders, stop population growth and the flow of drugs, the gangs and their debt-slaves.
More pie in the sky common sense.
No reality? Using ocean water?
Of coarse not. (100 world class golf courses all nearby as well).
Governor Newsome has just destroyed 6 dams in Northern California so that salmon will not have to navigate spawning
ladders as they wend their way to egg laying shallows.
The insanity of California water mismanagement is monumental.
FEW realize that many of those dams also provide power.
I’m not worried a bit. Soon the drought control people will be named the flood management office. I will take notice if cities actually stop handing out thousands of residential building permits.
Let’s not discuss that. The fewer that know, the better for the delta smelt.
