San Diego has built one of if not the largest seawater desalination plants in the western hemisphere, which I believe should be going on line pretty soon, next year at the latest. Projects are not built or funded in just a year or two... and in fact California is leading in the technology field, has 17 desalination plants in various stages more to come.
The San Diego plant should come in at 1 Billion to build, not including operation, to produce 50,000,000 gals or 190,000 cu. meters.
And desalination, like with nuclear energy you have bi-product that must be dealt with.
But here's an idea placing an excise tax on all farm grown products shipped outside California to pay for the desalination plants.
