Build desal plants on the Pacific, which lessens Southern CA's need for the CO river water, which can be diverted to AZ. No pumping water from the Pacific to AZ!
There's a saying: water will always arise to $$$!
AZ gets a 2.8 million sq acre feet of water from the Colorado River, but 1 million of that goes to the Native American Indians, who use it for agriculture.
The best location for a de-sal palnt or 2 in Southern CA, to avoid the Nimby's, is to build it off Camp Pendleton! Federal land! To my knowledge there's only one de-sal plant in SOCAL, near Cardiff, which only supplies 7% of San Diego's water.
So what's the price tag, Native Americans, if we buy your water?
