While desalinated is technically doable, is it scalable yet so that it could even be offered? I honestly don't know much about it but was under the impression it simply wouldn't work to provide California water because it's not yet able to scale enough to meet a large enough fraction of the need.
I could certainly be wrong though. I couldn't find much info googling.
- idlewords 9y agoMost of California's appetite for water is due to agriculture. For that, you need cheap inland water. The Gulf countries offer desalinated water at city scale, but it's not cheap enough for irrigation.
