My workmate predicted that in the next ten years, Lake Mead will be dried up.

Seems reasonable...

This is problem because Lake Mead provides water to southern California, Nevada and Arizona


[c=002673]my question is: [/c]why isn't someone converting ocean water into fresh water? I can't imagine it's that hard to distill salt water.

It's about 500km from the nearest ocean mate, unless you're planning on pulling a Israel scale water transportation network which will definitely be poorly maintained and subject to Californian wildfires not to mention horrendously difficult to build over the various terrain....it's not feasible to transport sea water at that cost.

What should be looked at is star wars style moisture farming like they do in some communities

@Longpatrol moister farming would be a brilliant move. Except my area hardly gets any fog.
Meh. If you’re going to choose to live in a desert, expect a dry mouth.

@TheLustyLord maybe I won't be living in this desert after 10 years...

It's actually happening in California. San Diego has a working desalination plant and there plans in the works for others.

Problem actually is the cosstal estuaries for wild life. Less water means those estuaries will have less and effect them greatly.

Actually the whole dam is effecting many coastal estuaries more than coast residents.

Lake Mead really shouldn't be there to begin with. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Not hard, but consumes a lot of energy to produce and distribute.
