Dreadful Drought
04/20/2015 |
The California drought can be overcome with a grand compromise. Shift some water from agriculture to residential use. Purify wastewater into drinking water, recycle graywater to be reused as irrigation, and improve stormwater retention. Simultaneously, raise the price of water, yet keep the cost of the first 10,000 gallons/month for residential users low so daily needs can be affordably met. Then aggressively employ conservation. Everyone suffers, everyone benefits.
