The water will not be used for agriculture.

In fact, farmers(water right holders) in the Imperial Irrigation District are already selling water to San Diego.

The sea is full of water. Desalinate it and be done with it.

People pay a buck for a pint of water in a store, but won't pay half that to have it available from their taps by building plants to desalinate sea water?
Some people will pay 3 bucks for a quart of water from a desalination plant in Hawaii. It's just sea water!!

San Diego needs to build a few nuclear reactor/desal/hydrogen generating plants.

They need fresh water, electricity and fuel
