South Orange County’s Water Woes - Residents Weep!
Water, water everywhere nor any drop to drink— Samuel Taylor Coleridge
While the Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner tells of the misfortunes of a seaman and suggests that despite being surrounded by something, you cannot benefit from it, the tale of ocean desalination suggests the same. The South Coast Water District’s proposed Doheny Ocean Desalination Plant in South Orange County is an excellent example of this conundrum.
