Will California run out of water? (Huntington Beach: house, vs, store)

No. I'm saying there's no reason to switch to something else because the entire argument against growing almonds (and other things) is flawed in the first place. And I'm saying there's no need to change since the industry is allowed to choose their method of making a profit and getting the best bang for their buck from their investment.


The reason we export so many almonds is because we grow the world's supply of them. So that business about supporting China isn't going to fly either. Also, it's a global economy so...

I read our southern neighborhor had suffered serious water outage for the TJ area the largest metro in Baja California twice last decade. I guess they really need water storage there too.

Give it a minute. I'm sure the state can accommodate your wishes.

I did hear some rural communities or farming communities running completely out of water in the last drought in CA even ones with senior water rights. Not only their crops wittered they had issues with domestic water use as well. But most of the population were spared fortunately on that drought.

I be curious though whether California's water supply is actually historically more reliable than some states that get more rain? I.e parts of Texas which it appears water outages are more common there. Or is it really? Water outages do occur should a water main break though but not due to drought.

Interesting they want to further villize disposable items. But not realizing there might not be the water to wash the dishes and utencils in the future.

I’m willing to give you all the water and power you can use as long as you keep sending them salty roasted almonds my way. Oh, and that almond milk. Imagine the size of the udders on them lil’ almonds. Sheesh.

And you have to crack the shell to get to them. Udderly ridiculous.

They are starting to use produced water from oil production to irrigate agricultural land in the Central Valley.

The water board released a report last year.

From the link:

The report, based on five years' work and incomplete in some respects, found no evidence of risks to human health from watering tree nuts, citrus, berries, tubers and other ag products with the saline water that comes up from the ground along with oil and which contains small concentrations of toxic chemicals.

Let’s milk them for all they are worth.

This sounds like a terrible idea.

with the saline water that comes up from the ground along with oil and which contains small concentrations of toxic chemicals.

They're deliberately solidifying agricultural land? It's a surefire way of killing it, not to mention the toxic chemicals.

Another reason to buy organic.

With California enduring historic drought amplified by global warming, Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday released a new plan to adapt to the state’s hotter, drier future by capturing and storing more water, recycling more wastewater and desalinating seawater and salty groundwater.

The governor’s new water-supply strategy, detailed in a 16-page document, lays out a series of actions aimed at preparing the state for an estimated 10% decrease in California’s water supply by 2040 because of higher temperatures and decreased runoff. The plan focuses on accelerating infrastructure projects, boosting conservation and upgrading the state’s water system to match the increasing pace of climate change, securing enough water for an estimated 8.4 million households.

Newsom called it “an aggressive plan to rebuild the way we source, store and deliver water so our kids and grandkids can continue to call California home in this hotter, drier climate.”

10% decrease by 2040?? Has no one noticed Lake Mead and water restrictions everywhere? Things are a lot worse then what he’s lying about and they’re starting to sweat. Hopefully he actually will bypass committee’s and panels and actually DO SOMETHING but nah it’ll never happen.

The desalination plant that was planned for 20 years in Huntington Beach just got canceled a few months ago by conservationists. Need I write more???
