Although the technology for desalination plants is relatively simple the cost to run them is prohibitive. Even with less expensive natural gas the price would sill be wicked. With those plants would also come air and water pollution. The best solution to the water shortage is conservation and redistribution of suppy via market pricing. Ag uses 80% of the state water, and it is less than 2% of the states GDP. Also, about 90% of the water used in CA agriculture is paid for by the state and federal taxpayers. Millions of homes in the centeral valley don't even have water meters, and so long as ag is paying pennies on the dollar (many farms don't have meters either) for what they use there is no incentive to conserve. All that is needed is a meter for every user and everyone paying market based pricing for water. Let it go to the highest bidder. This America after all. The only reason that it can work in Israel is because of the Billions of $ the US sends to them every year, but that will quit with time. Our own Cadillac desert needs to dry up get off the back of the taxpayers. We certianly have no reason to subsidize one in the middle east.
