Help on researching potential Drought in California

[Doomsday Dallas]

It appears that California will be the first State in America that will be completely worthless... And it won't be due to Economic Collapse, Earthquake, Wildfires, or War....

It will be caused by a Drought.

and thus causing a massive migration from the West Coast to the Central U.S.

This is to occur within the next few years.

What information is out there to support the idea that California will
be completely f*cked in the near future due to Drought?

(will be looking into this the next few days... but so far haven't even
Googled the topic yet)

Desalination is expensive, but should solve the problem.

Bullshit mostly. California already buys our water from Canada. The water we produce ourselves comes from the high sierras and Nevada, who is also in a drought. I'm moving out of California as we speak, but not because of drought, but because I hate the politics and people of California.

Where did you get all this bullshit if you haven't looked at the topic these days.

Well to put things in perspective...

The drought will be so bad that $million dollar homes will be worthless
because they won't have running water.

You tend to stumble upon topics like these when you are researching other things.

So, the pacific is going dry as well? :kobe:

[FillJackson]

In the time, you took to write that post, you could have googled and found out:
it's a not a potential drought, it's been going on for years
it was worse last year than this year.
it will take a few years to recover


Starting with a conspiracy theory/disaster scenario and then going looking for facts is not an effective way to find the truth.

[Doomsday Dallas]

It's just something to be aware of...

California has like the 7th or 8th largest economy in the world. Not the states, the world. With how high taxes are in California, no million dollar homes are going without water. They may get washed away if they're beachfront. In that case, ****'em. Shit happens.

[FillJackson]

wow. so you've been unaware of california's historic drought. It started 5 years ago.

Don't worry about the prices of houses, look at the prices of food. Agriculture is the biggest use of water in California. Look at how much food is grown ONLY in California.

"Potential" Drought as in....... people eventually won't even be able to live there.


Yea... I know they've been dealing with it... But this is gonna be the top
headline story in the years to come.

Something that water restrictions won't be able to fix.

Growing food in the desert seems like a smart idea. :oldlol:

People are already fleeing California. They have been for years, and it has nothing to do with a drought.

Crazy expensive.

One of my posts from a while ago:

California uses ~40 billion gallons of water per day. The largest desalination plant in the US produces 50 million gallons of fresh water a day. The cost of the plant is ~1 billion. Setting up enough plants to cover just half of California's daily requirements would end up costing the state anywhere between $150 billion to $250 billion. That's not including the running cost and the maintenance of the plant.

lol. Completely worthless... :roll: btw, drought is over! Snowpack is at the average annual height right now. I've been skiing Tahoe since opening day this season( November 15, 2015) and the resorts ( some of them ) are open until Memorial Day 2016. (Mammoth Mtn). Plenty of water when it all melts in two months. yo, none of this should be disconcerting anyway for remember, California is a desert with patches of an oasis here and there.:rockon:

I wonder if this could be a potentially wise investment? The construction of these types of desalination plants.

I know you're not much for critical thinking, but when you have more people you have more chances for people to leave. Their domestic immigration per capita must be nearly non-existent.

California's Drought: A City Without Water

The Town of Porterville is ground zero for the drought and on it's Eastern edge lies East Porterville, a town where local residents have run out of water entirely.

California's Drought: A City Without Water
I just took the dog for a night run along the canal in Bishop, CA (where my business is, in the High Sierras). It's full of water and flowing fast. I've never been to Porterville, but I believe it's on the other side of Death Valley. They don't call it Death Valley for no reason.

Can Seawater Desalination Solve California's Drought?

In the year 2016, the people of San Diego County will be drinking seawater. Not straight out of the Pacific, of course; the water - up to 54 million gallons per day - will first pass through the Carlsbad Desalination Plant, the largest desalination facility ever built in the Western Hemisphere.

Solution: Hitachi solar-powered desalination plants, Abu Dhabi - Hitachi



Published on 19 Mar 2014
Green energy is a must in Abu Dhabi and it was a requirement of the project to power the desalination plants using solar energy. There is no lack of sunlight in Abu Dhabi and solar power overcomes the usually high cost of energy for operating the plant, but importantly it has no environmental impact.

[Nanners]

CA mainly just needs to cut back on the agriculture a bit. the vast majority of their water is going into things like almonds and cotton. desalination is not needed and not viable on that scale anyway.

[Norcaliblunt]

Kennedy was talking about NAWAPA 50 plus years ago. It needs to get done. Also nuclear fission could power desalination pants.

You have crops growing in the valley of california where it's dry as shit. It's unnatural and California is a dry state and having such a large population there is unnatural. The rainwater they do get can't support their population.

[LootOP]

Wasn't Cali one of the most fertile states and biggest producers of crops, before this whole industry was moved to South/Central America?

Pretty much. Something like 80% of the water goes towards agriculture.
