California Water Crises. Who Should They Blame?,Democrats,Bush Or Illegal Aliens?

[westwall]

This is a national problem..............Because if they run out of water and decide to move these wacked out liberals may move into our areas.............

Being in Construction..............FAST TRACK PIPE LINES AND DE-SALINATION PLANTS QUICK.............

Get them the dang water so THEY WILL STAY IN CALIFORNIA...............

HURRRY.

i heard about that story too. plenty of water in the Spacific Ocean! why didn't Moonhead start the process 20 years ago !!!

20 years ago the Governator was Ahnold. Jerry Brown wasn't even in a political office.

Ummm, no. 20 years ago it was Pete Wilson. Jerry Brown WAS governor from 1975 to 1983 however.

 

[Harry Dresden]

Oh for ***** sake. It'd be fantastic if all you idiots who don't understand the Californian economy or reasons behind the drought could just shut the **** up about it already.

We get it, California should be forced to stand on its own because liberals, completely ignoring that 80% of our water usage is agricultural and I'd bet money all you whiny babies eat our food.

well maybe not anymore.....they can import Chinese produce.....

no he wasnt.....it was wilson.....

i just used "20 Years Ago" as a ball park figure. just back when MoonBall looked more like one of the Beatles.

then you mean 40 years ago.....

lol,ok 40, I just recall a time when Jerry was the Governor and we were all laughing at him.

yea he gets that a lot....

Any of you hillbilly right wing turds who crawl out of the sewer with great happiness anytime you hear bad news, actually know what's happening in Cali? It's the weather dummies, not libruls.

The Technology for dealing with this situation has been around for decades............We've been producing water from the sea for most of the 20th Century.....................but everytime someone proposes a new plant your liberal idiots whine like little bitches..................and protest...............

and when the water runs out.................you go WHAT HAPPENED..............yeah it's rain, population. and refusing to BUILD necessary things to protect the people there..................

and by the way.............I'm calling the Liberals there a bunch of IDIOTS..............in that I agree..............End the RAIL and produce Desalination plants instead.....

Get your priorities.................Should have plenty of illegal labor there.

California Water Crises. Who Should They Blame?,Democrats,Bush Or Illegal Aliens?

​

Blame God.

Specifically, The God of Abraham, as defined in The Torah, The New Testament and The Koran. He seems to be mad at them for their wicked, west-coast, liberal life-style.

Same reason the Kennedy lovers up nawth are still freezing their balls in Beantown.

Those three excerpts are from a good article in the SacB.
Ever been to Cali and the beach. Nice place. I can see why they would be reluctunt and careful about approving these desal plants because of the amount of damage potential.

Can't say that I blame them for being careful, but if it don't rain soon, they better be able to approve and build these plants a lot faster.



The state has more than a dozen permitted desalination plants, but they are all small. When Carlsbad begins operating, it will produce about 25 times more drinking water than all of them combined.

About a dozen new desalination projects are in various planning stages throughout the state. Only a few are as large as Carlsbad. The nearest to construction is another Poseidon project, proposed in Huntington Beach. A final permit from the state Coastal Commission comes up for a vote late in 2015.

Desalination plants operate by drawing in seawater. Unless that intake is carefully designed, it can harm marine life. Reverse-osmosis filters are so fine that they allow only water molecules to pass. Everything else entering the desalination plant is killed.

The second major environmental concern is discharge water. Most desalination plants take in two times more seawater than the fresh water they produce. To produce 50 million gallons per day of fresh water, Carlsbad will draw in 100 million gallons of seawater. The difference is returned to the ocean as discharge water, but with its salinity doubled.

The discharge water is so salty that it doesn’t dissolve well in the ocean.

“It’s like oil and vinegar – they stay separate,” Whitney said. “You end up with these very large dead zones … where you have really salty water just sitting on the ocean bottom.”

For real? You know the area has a history of droughts? Some of them go on a long (in our terms) long time. Scientist say that in the last 1000 years they have evidence of multiple droughts lasting 10-20 years. Long time ago they say there were droughts of hundreds of years.


There is a big desert just to the east (and part of) that Cali. Wonder how that happened? Wasn't because it rained to much.

But I don't think you can blame it on God.

SAWS embarks on plant to get salt out of water - San Antonio Express-News

SAN ANTONIO — A day after the San Antonio Water System board of trustees approved a proposal that would pipe in fresh water from Central Texas, the utility made headway on another project to diversify its water sources.

SAWS broke ground Wednesday on a desalination plant in southern Bexar County that officials project to one day be the largest inland facility in the nation. It will produce 12 million gallons of drinkable water a day — good for 40,000 households — once it starts up in October 2016.

By the end of the three-phase project in 2026, the plant is expected to yield 30 million gallons of water per day, according to a SAWS release.

The plant will remove 97 percent of salt and minerals from brackish groundwater pumped out of the Wilcox Aquifer. After the water is desalinated, leftover brine will be injected into a brackish portion of the Edwards Aquifer at a depth of about 5,000 feet.

This is being done in the middle of Texas...............not on the coast.................They are pumping in the Seawater and then putting the brine 5,000 feet into the ground.

These plants don't have to be on the dang coast..............all you need is water from the ocean...........THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX.

Desalination Facts - Innovative Water Technologies Texas Water Development Board

Desalination Facts

• Texas currently has an estimated total municipal desalination capacity of about 123 million gallons per day (about 137,760 acre-feet per year) which includes 73 million gallons per day (about 81,760 acre-feet per year) of brackish groundwater desalination and 50 million gallons per day (about 56,000 acre-feet per year) of brackish surface water desalination. (Source: TWDB Desalination Plant Database, 2012)
• In addition to municipal desalination, industrial desalination capacity in the state is estimated to be about 60 to 100 million gallons per day (about 67,000 to 112,000 acre-feet per year) mainly in the power and semi-conductor industries. (Source: TWDB, 2005)
• The largest inland municipal desalination plant in Texas, the Kay Bailey Hutchison desalination plant in El Paso, has a design capacity of approximately 27.5 million gallons per day (30,800 acre-feet per year) and went into production in August 2007.
• Texas does not yet have a seawater desalination plant. However, on May 14, 2011, voters in Laguna Madre Water District approved a bond proposition to build a 1-million-gallon-per-day seawater desalination plant on South Padre Island.

Retraction..........they are using salt brackish water for the facility...............not sea water.............

They planned ahead and have building them.................as early as 2002.

Lessons learned. Don't wait until it's a crisis to act................Proactive versus Reactive strategies.

Build the dang plants.

The revised construction cost estimate is down by about 1% from the $68.4 billion that was forecast in the agency's previous business plan, which dates to April 2012. The draft 2014 plan, written by the agency's management staff, will be presented to the rail authority board at its meeting Tuesday in Sacramento. It will be subject to public comment and criticism for a couple of months before a final version is due May 1.

No water..........No problem.............

Because they will have a fast train.............

if the crisis worsens come summer, there goes the summer tourist season.kinda hard vacationing in California when u have no water to drink/bathe/wash pets, etc.

 

[HenryBHough]

The People's Republic of California is a Democrat fiefdom.

So naturally there's only ONE person to blame:

Boooooosssshhhhhh!

Wow. Over population driving climate change. Or it's solar/climate variations, take your pick. What a co-inky-dink there is like 7 billion people now and China creates all that CO2 pollution, they cant even see the sun in Beijing on most days.
