How do you propose we power these highly efficient desalinization plants?

Idk, go look at Saudi Arabia. They get 50% of their water through this process

Can someone give a Chicot aquifer update real quick? Trying to decide whether to move out of Louisiana.

These restrictions aren’t bad and pretty easy to follow. Yeah, meemaw is going to lose some flowers, but at least unlike California’s a few years ago, she can still shower.

So they only meant for newly constructed pools? Or water features that lose water?

If so I will have no quarrel with Karen… this time.

You're not supposed to fill new or existing empty pools. Topping off existing pools that were already in use appears to be fine.

Thanks to no rain, my grass is dead and haven’t had to get out and work in 100 degree evenings all month.

My "yard" is 5 acres of a lot of field grass I mow with a ZTR. I am not watering that bullshite. Everything is pretty much dead...except for the areas over my lateral field

you need to read what the agreement between NFBWA and the City of Houston actually says. In short, it doesnt guarantee water. Any municipality that counted on receiving water from the City of Houston in a drought needs to re-examine their water system.

Unless people continue to overuse a finite resource. They always start with how to conserve, here's a recommendation, here's a watering schedule, we are moving to no irrigation two days a week, so on and so forth until it eventually gets to fines and having to limit actual use. It's a shame 'adults' have to be told that during a drought using a finite shared resource has a negative impact on everyone in the supply line. The 'government overreach' with fines and rationing doesn't occur until the populace or at least a large percentage has ignored every recommendation and their hand is forced because of selfish pricks.

Let’s see how much the country clubs adhere to that restriction for keeping some of those super nice golf courses, all green and lush

Truth, imagine living as someone who wakes up and looks in the mirror and cant recognize how mentally ill they are by wanting to waste a resource at the expense of everyone else.
