How about conservation and stopping pollution? Over population is also a problem.

We fill up millions of plastic bottles to send liquid products around the world. I noticed our food market (Albertson owned) is full of pop, water, ect. International corporations profit. They care less about us and water conservation.

My neighbor watered heavily every morning last year. They don't pick up the dog poop but water it out. The water flow is directed under the sidewalk and street...parkway causing the death of our parkway tree and the one across the street. The below ground water destroys the street too.

The city arborist had no clue and has done nothing (he promised to spray this Spring). We also had problems with mold on our house since we were downhill from that neighbor. Their water on our property.

Watering everyday and wasting it down the street is just plain bad city management. Even once a week can be enough watering during a dought. Large swimming pools in back yards a waste also.

Water desalination is possible and is sometimes necessary and appropriate, but it is a very energy-intensive process. Any large-scale desalination plant will require a large-scale power plant along side of it.

I'm not saying there is no solution here, but please be aware that it is not an easy or inexpensive one.

this is a very good idea expecially here in L.A. where we have all the water we can ever need, im tired of this conserve stuff, we have the right to have all the drinking water and use as much water as we like here, spend the money get it done.

This is a ridiculous idea due to the energy cost of desalinization. There are very few areas in the world where it is cost effective. The united states is not one of those areas.
