i drive past the Colorado river regularly and always check it out - has been full and flowing for the most part - maybe a few years back it was a tad low - but last year it was nice and high.
here's a problem from the eco freaks - get rid of all dams - well that might make a few (million) folks thirsty.
whiskey is fer drinkin - waters fer fightin.

...We have the ability to provide the nation all the fresh water it needs by building desalination plants and piping the water to every corner of the country.
...For the price of the Iraq war we could have solved this problem so since the politicians are not going to do it on their own, we simply need to run out of water to force them to do it.

Oh YUM!
Have you ever tasted this water?
I have not.
I know that 'they' have been working on getting a desalination plant 'out here'...where so much briny water is pulled out of the ground (for re-use)...but seems that the cost-factor is still a huge question.
If they're going to desalinate ocean water - do you know if the process accounts for the many other harmful (life-threatening?) 'additives' found therein?
Or is it -
Step 1: Desalinate;
Step 2: Add Chlorine & Fluoride; and
Step 3: It's good for YOU to drink...but NOT ME OR MINE...
?
