Could desalinization of ocean water save California and other states suffering from record breaking drought? Will those states become deserts once again, or is desalinization the answer? If so, could this process also remove minerals from the water that are crucial to the human body? It has been stated, that in many areas of California that people have been told that it is safe to drink water that smells like rotten eggs, and that is also black. Agriculturally, California is responsible for much of the nations produce. Are things as grim as they seem?
But this effects the entire nation TI. I mean California is responsible for producing at least 1/3rd of the food bought in grocery stores or something to that extent. i know that the rich seem to believe that their grass is more important to keep green than for people to survive, but the rich only make up a small percentage of Californian residents.
It's yet another problem that could be solved with liquid fluoride thorium reactor technology as you can use the waste heat to safely desalinate all the water you'd ever need.
You're literally calling for more government intervention and control over things here- I mean, sensibly so, I will grant you that! The government really should have a firmer hand here and have more regulations preventing people and companies from wasting so much water and such.
Okay so they desalinate the water of one mineral, but what about all of the other minerals present in water? What stops the process from also removing those minerals? I was under the impression that without certain minerals present in water, that the bones suffer over a long period of time, even your finger nails become soft and extremely pliable. Do you know anything about that? I'd be very interested in knowing about this. I guess it would beat dying of thirst,or drinking black water that smells of rotting eggs, but the long term effects could be just as bad.
The overwhelming amount of minerals you require are extracted from food rather than water. To get the minerals your body needs solely from water you'd need to drink a bath full of water every day.
Mineral content of water also varies massively depending on where it comes from and the land it passes through and where it's stored.
It's also arguable that desalinated water wouldn't contain potentially harmful pollutants that some fresh water sources can.
Maybe they should stop wasting so much water on almonds.

i think california needs less water. this way we'll have more opportunity to grossly oversimplify the issue and act smug.

You would think people would be all behind this. I mean taking as much water of the oceans before the polar ice caps melt this winter should really cut down on rising sea levels.
That and all the rich people really need to keep their lawns green all year round.
