Carlsbad, CA (December 12. 2015) - The newest weapon in the war on drought in California has arrived, an engineering marvel that will harvest drinking water from the ocean on a scale never before seen in the Western Hemisphere. San Diego Union Tribune
Carlsbad, CA (December 12, 2015) - It’s been there all along, the largest reservoir in the world, lapping at our shore but unavailable through drought after drought. Finally, on Monday, politicians and government officials, business leaders and residents will gather in Carlsbad to dedicate a $1 billion plant and pipeline connecting the Pacific Ocean to the San Diego County drinking water network. It is in many ways a remarkable and historic achievement. But it is hardly the end of the search for reliable, sustainable, drought-proof sources of affordable water for the future. |
