Why can’t you pipeline desalted water? Or is there not enough throughout. Take oil tech for refinery storage and transport and use it for water.

- bsder 5y agoYou can pipeline desalted water just fine. The problem for agriculture is that desalinization is expensive--several orders of magnitude more expensive than sucking it out of the aquifer. You won't be growing any cheap or staple crops with that. And, we could certainly supply the people in the Central Valley of California with pipelined desalinated water. However, if the agribusinesses disappear, so will the cities. Thus making a water pipeline moot.
