How to solve the growing fresh water-shortage crisis.

I can name that tune in one note.
~Desalination~

In southern California and the drought-stricken desert SW, for example we need to have at least 2 or 3 sea water desalination plants asap because the main source Lake Mead cannot do it alone much longer. Possibly share the cost with Mexico in the Gulf of California and then others on the Pacific coast, running on renewable energy and operating environment-friendly by hauling off the salt and so on.

Nuclear powered desalination.....if you're serious about it.

From what I know, that sounds like it might be a pretty good idea.

Fukushima comes to mind when I hear nuclear and ocean in the same sentence. A plant could run off a conventional grid , solar, wind, tidal or any combination of them.

i think its still pricey(the actual process ) ...if the California state government will be involved its gonna get pricey to build

i know japan and the Saudis use em ...ah crap i think japan

Make it federal - FDR style. This country will be in big trouble without some of California's resources, considering Silicon Valley, the agriculture, all that good weed they grow....

No reason to have the reactor on the shore.
Or the backup generators on the ground floor.

Then let enough terrorists sneak over the border and blow them all up. Nevertheless, it is a viable option.
And stopping this would be a step in the right direction:

Apr 10, 2018 - “Between 2005 and 2016, Nestlé has taken over 4 billion gallons of our water for pennies and sold it back to us for huge profits...
The permit cost them $200.00.
Nestle Makes Millions in Profits Bottling Water Pumped from Disenfranchised Communities - Validated Independent News


We have lost our minds. While WE should be profiting off of our water, ( if we want to sell it instead of preserving it) we are instead paying top dollar for it. OUR OWN WATER.
Our dwindling water supply
Our Uranium mines
What else should we let global help themselves to?

Out of the 60 we already have, how many have been blown up so far?

Oh, right, none, so you can stop with the ridiculous hysterics

And ruin the ocean view of rich Leftards? You crazy?

I have a Pelican Water Filtration System that not only softens the water without Salt, but purifies it to 99.9% chemical free. It does cost a few thousand dollars, but in the long term, if the water goes bad, at the tap, mine will still be clean...

For doubters and skeptics like you I included this in the OP;
...running on renewable energy and operating environment-friendly by hauling off the salt and so on.

We're hemorrhaging at our border. You don't think a few might sneak in among the hoards and say, take some flying lessons ? Do you want to live down wind of one?
You are incredibly naive.
NEVERTHELESS, it is a viable option. For California, especially.

Save water close down golf courses and car washes...

Don't close down the golf courses, but make it a rule that all golfers
must drink their own urine during their games.

How are going to save the planet without more courses to pump desalinated ocean water on and stop oceans from drowning us

I say pump salt water and let the grass die
then you'll have desert golf with dune buggies -
much more entertaining.

Here's how you get to the 18th at the Grand Canyon Classic in Arizona...

As much as I like to golf, I have to agree with you. There are 185 golf courses in Phoenix Arizona. I'm sorry but in a desert that is ridiculous. Also agree on the car washes.

To make it cost effective on the scale that is needed, you almost have to go the nuclear route, don't you?
