Un - effing - believable.
Only in California.....
Florida here is your chance to build the plants to improve Florida lives
Or Alabama
Drought, imagined, real, or manufactured has nothing whatsoever to do with the restrictions on water use.
It is all caused by storage restrictions. While CaCaLand’s population has doubled in 30 years no water storage facilities have been added. Why do reservoirs show record low depths? ‘Cause twice as many people have been drinking water yah dumbass!
Been here 30+ years. Droughts come and go on regular basis. In between are record rains — and we don’t catch anywhere near what the population needs. Why? Because this is a one-party communist state (extensive regulations amount to gov’mt ownership) that made a deal with the treehuggers to limit water storage and encourage wildfires.
This is deliberate.
Is desalinization the next nuclear power? We have a solution, but the government would rather have rationing... It almost sounds intentional.
“Droughts come and go on regular basis.”
Yup—human stupidity is the same.
“And they let vast amounts just run out to the sea to protect the Delta smelt...”
Ehhhh, not so much the fish.
The effluent rate is controlled to keep the fresh/salt water interface downstream of municipal water supply intakes as the tides rise and fall. On a rising tide, the fresh/salt interface zone pushes quite a ways back up the delta, and if there’s not enough fresh water coming down the river to keep it pushed back toward SF Bay, municipal water supplies could too easily get inundated with seawater.
how many MILLIONS of ILLEGAL ALIENS live in California?
Now.. just imagine how much more water they would have without those MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL ALIENS using it up!
California allowed in cheap Mexicans to pick crops, like fruit. OK, but they took that fruit from other States to gain the cheap Mexican labor. Not OK. There was also no water to grow the crops. Still no water.
Colorado has continuous water restrictions so that the plentiful water in Colorado can be sent downstream to fill pools in the desert and water crops growing in the desert.
“Florida here is your chance to build the plants to improve Florida lives”
Why do we need to build desalination plants? We have water all over the place.
My understanding has been that south Florida does not have potable water, and the cities were rapidly running out aquafers were running dry.
Perhaps I am wrong.
Lets see, the oceans are suppose to rise because of global warming. So desalination plants would remove water and make the ocean levels drop......Two catastrophes avoided!! lol
You might not be wrong. It just seems silly to think you can’t scratch the surface here without a pool of water but we’re out of water...somehow. In Colorado, it takes about $24,000-$40,000 to drill a well 800 feet to an aquafer. In Florida, it takes $30 of PVC pipe and you just push it into the ground about 100 feet. Many homes have wells in Florida. Mine does for irrigation, but I could easily use it for the whole house if needed.
Welcome to FR, n00b.
IBTZ.
I think he was offended about California (topic of this thread) being a desert, or something like that (he/she/it must be from Cali).. so, he had to throw some insults toward other states with a ridiculous topic that has nothing to do with this thread (and was racist and appears to support abortion).
I’m thinking what you’re thinking!
