Re: Water: Where will it come from in 2050?
Quote:
California Water Law Curtailing New Development
. . .
. . . in Riverside County, a superior court judge recently enjoined a 1,500-home development project, citing, among others things, a failure to provide substantial evidence of adequate water supply.
In San Luis Obispo County, north of Los Angeles, the City of Pismo Beach was recently denied the right to annex unincorporated land to build a large multipurpose project because, “the city didn’t have enough water to adequately serve the development,” said Paul Hood, the executive officer of the commission that approves the annexations and incorporations of cities.

What is happening to the new water harvesting desalination ideas discussed in this thread? Still in Sydney we are building a billion $ de-sal plant based on old membrane technology. Is water desalination like any other new idea (eg Terra preta) and takes 25 years to get established in public consciousness. Have we got that sort of time any more? Perhaps we need some body or organisation to speed up the time between concept/invention and realisation?
