WATER-- CA-- insanity

qUOTE

Water from Northern California rivers irrigates most of the country's winter vegetables and keeps faucets flowing in the Los Angeles area. But it must be shipped south through a complex network of pumps, pipes and aqueducts, and that system recently developed a kink when a federal judge ordered new restrictions on pumping to save a threatened fish.

Residents of Long Beach can't run fountains, and it's now illegal for restaurants to serve customers a glass of water unless they ask for it.

And cities across California are drawing down underground stashes meant to carry them through dry years just to avoid any new purchases. [+]

MY COMMENT-- This is a part of a more massive world wide problem of water running out and being privatized. Laoruche has the solution... Nuclear power plants can desalinate. Beyond nuclear power, we have fusion-- and beyond that-- we have to develop plasma.
