re: California will run out of water soon, should ration immediately says scientist

Seeing as california alone produces over 50% of all fruit in the united states, as well as 90+% of almonds, pistachios and who knows what else, this isn't just a lol@libfags circle jerk but something that everyone will feel.

You may or may not be aware that you just linked the UK's version of the National Enquirer as a source of actual information. The Dailey Mail's normal fare is alien abduction stories and the like LINK

While the info may or may not be correct I would probably avoid them as a serious news source

Interesting. I always thought that dailymail.uk was a legit source.

well now I know

You don't know shite about L.A. obviously. December of 2004 was one of the worst months of my life because of all of the rain. I lived in the hills and my house was flooded like 10 days, my 1 hour commute each way became 2-3, there were days I couldn't even get to my house and my dogs were left alone because of mud slides, people's homes were literally sliding down the hills and they lost everything etc. It may not rain as much as some places but when it does it can frick your life up. That month my average day was wake up at 4am so I could leave by 5am, drive 3 hours to be at work by 8am, work until 6pm, drive home and get to my area at 9pm,have a beer and then sleep for an hour in a booth at the local bar until around 11pm, have the bartender wake me up so I could go home since the police blocking my street usually left by then, go home and feed and play with my dogs for an hour, get 4 more hours sleep and then go back to work. It was like that the entire month, I felt like a damn Katrina refugee. If I didn't have my dogs I just would have stayed at a hotel but whatever, frick El Niño

ETA: not to mention lots of those nights, and all weekends, I spent all of my time getting water out of my lower level. The entire hill became so soaked the water came in from below. It was a really fricked up time but one season like that will give Cali enough water for years and years and years.

We could offset some of the agricultural losses if we quit putting food in our gas tanks.

We could also quit trying to have nice lawns in the desert.

When they gonna run out of air?

Direct potable reuse is the answer

then how haven't we found a way to convert salt water from the sea to drinking water.

I think we have. But they don't want to build on the coast

Its the same process. Reverse osmosis

There is less shite in sewage than there is in saltwater.

Also RO takes shitloads of energy

Well it's a good thing we have a glut of oil right now!


They'd rather die than use fossil fuels!

Watch, desalinization is going to make some serious strides with experimentation in the next couple months... I guarantee it.

I've read a couple of articles that they have reproduced more efficient ways of desalinizing water in labs. It's still not the cheapest way to make drinking water, i.e. water wells, but I read it's way better than past trials.

They could also call Israel, being shot at for a number of years over issues, including the dwindling water reservoirs, will make you figure shite out pretty quick.
