the solution is to get silicon valley to develop desalination tech so that its cheaper/environmentally safe to desalinate seawater than to take water from the central valley and the california canal

The San Joaquin valley from Fresno to Bakersfield needs several billion acre feet of water every year.
That’s a LOT of desalination waiting to be pumped over the coast range (2000-4000 ft elevation).
It should go back to desert scrub and grazing.
