Desal water is very, very expensive! Expensive filters/filter media, high energy cost.
Here in California, water is much, much cheaper from aqueducts or wells.
Here in SoCal desal water costs 5X more than other sources like wells and aqueducts.
Woke!

"Desal water is very, very expensive!"
So are bullet trains to nowhere, what's the priority here?

About an inch of rain the past two days here in San Diego County cities.
The more drama over their doomsday predictions, the more that Nature proves who is in control!

Rainfall is measured in inches.
The average rain for March (since 2008) is 1.42"
In the past 2 days we just got over 1".
The month is not over.
Science is observation of real events. Not hysteria over predictions.
Keep observing!

If you read all of my words, you would know I wasn't giving Baja rainfall figures. The thread is 'Western Megadrought' not Baja Megadrought! silly

The fifties was a time of unbounded hope and recovery. Young men newly returned from battle overseas and grateful for what we had and building a
better future for their families. Values based on the horrors they had seen overseas. Problems abound? Lets put our knowledge and experiences to work
and overcome them. We could use some of that now don't you think?

I guess it was great time if you were white.
Not sure the indigenous peoples or blacks in Jim Crow usa would agree the 1950s were nirvana…
Up in your great white north the ‘sixties scoop’ got started in mid-1950s…
Woke!

this from Fb....
The peso hit 21.25 to the dollar this morning. Mexico is trying to protect its citizens by subsidizing gas to the tune of about US$1.28 per gallon by
reducing its fuel excise tax. However, that tax is down to around zero now, so there is little more Mexico can do to add more subsidies. Fuel excise
tax collections are down 50% from a year ago. When gasoline starts climbing in Mexico, there will be some major economic disruptions and inflation
will spike much higher. Regular gasoline is around US$3.60/gallon in Baja California.
there's only two things in life but I forget what they are........

Some of you seem to be quite cranky or wound too tight. Y’all would be much healthier and less stressed by fuel costs if ya follow my advice:
Drive a more energy-efficient car;
Walk more, drive less; and
Eat less meat, eat more fruits and vegetables.
Woke!

Mexico declines to impose sanctions on Russia.
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/mexicos-president-lopez-obrador-declines-impose-economic-sanctions-rus-rcna18143
Mexico will not arm the Ukranians.
https://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2022-03-04/mexico-will-not-send-arms-to-ukraine-president-says
It's kind of surprising this bit of news is never mentioned in the media. It being our southern neighbor. It will be interesting to see how much
pressure will be brought on Mexico to change its tune. Gas in San Diego is now close to 6 bucks.

I wonder how many have applied this simple method to help? With the cost of water continuing to rise, the payback for installing this system should be
declining from the 5 years at the time of writing. Wastewater reuse seems like a natural partial solution, along with rainwater capture and use.
