I'm against desalination, rather believing that all of us need to wean from our wasteful ways. For instance, the average lawn needs 48" of water yearly, far more than our rainfall in the best of years provides. Eliminate parkways, lawns as currently exist in most areas, including commercial and government, and re landscape using countless other means that are also beneficial to wildlife. Convert all shower, toilets and the like to low flow. The list is endless.
