The aquifer goes from Martha’s Vineyard to New Jersey plus they are looking into tapping it.
OK, but on the east cost, there is no shortage. I believe the only issue is the throughput of water treatment, local governments unwilling to maintain and build plants. Many of these plants are over 50 years old and only been maintained using duct tape and bandaids ;)
So where would this water go, plus how with will it be treated or are they assuming it is "pure" and just pass it on without treatment ?

Yeah, why are they talking about tapping offshore aquifers in areas that average 40+ inches (and increasing as of recent years) of rain a year? It seems to me a solution in search of a problem. It would be far cheaper to build land-based reservoirs and other water management infrastructure, as you mentioned.

- jmclnx 2y agoI know you are joking, but a thought like that crossed my mind too. Advert: Pure water from ~20,000 years ago before man. I know homo-sapiens were around, and maybe on the east coast. But Marketing People tend to make up things so they will sell :)
