Desalination is an ecological catastrophe, and it costs over $1,000 per acre-foot, and that's before the cost of water delivery to the end user. For comparison, my local irrigation district charges ~$150 per acre-foot, delivered.

Desalination doesn't work for California.




1) You can make it not be a catastrophe.

2) People that really want a green lawn will pay.
