Desal is coming, but we should know the scope of the undertaking. California's water usage could be met with about 2000 desal plants each producing about 20 million gallons per day [1]. (Which would be over 2 plants per mile of coastline.) Of course, it's not like all the rain has stopped immediately so they wouldn't have to go all in. But even going 10% in is going to be a heavy lift. Ag is a major water user, and I feel we could do a lot more work there to get equal yields for less water... It just costs more.
