There are other water options
for California
Oh, what a
tangled web we weave.... You can
lead a mule to water in
California, but you can't make
it drink !
California certainly needs
drought insurance and a drought
water bank.
The banks (existing storage
facilities) are already built
and most are only half full !
Why not store a million acre
feet of real non-tributary fresh
water each year from a source
that is legally available,
economically feasible and can be
developed without damage to the
environment or the water rights
of anyone, anywhere!
Yes, California, such a source
does in fact exist.
It's non-tributary aspect
legally allows water developed
from it complete flexibility in
California's multi-faceted
complex distribution and
delivery systems. The reason for
the flexibility is because there
will be no harm to existing
water rights, entitlements,
court rulings or environmental
flows!
Development of the new fresh
water source and associated
infrastructure will provide the
greatest returns in achieving
economic recovery, tremendous
job growth, greater efficiency
and farm productivity in
California.
Can it get better than that? Is
it possible to develop the
source so that no power will be
required to move the water? Yes.
Can the infrastructure be quagga
mussel proofed ? Yes.
"The laughter of fools has
always been the reward of any
man who comes up with a new
thought."
