Then how come California with its massive and lengthy coast line is still using in excess of their water allotment from the Colorado river while many California farms go dry?

You have to ask Arnold that question.

Bob La L>> They said the same thing about desalination. The technology now exists
Actually when I lived out there in the late 80's they were in the midst of a multi-year drought, Santa Barbara was going to get a desalination plant but apparently that never came about
I would think it's not up to Arnold, it's up to each costal city if they want a plant however after looking at the one in Saudi Arabia those things aren't cheap
Older plants that get the simple upgrade can now reduce operating cost by 75 percent because there is no longer large amounts of waste.
Before the upgrade, 30 percent of the water is successfully desalinated. With the new technology, 90+ percent of the water is desalinated with no waste at all. The salt is then place in a bed to sun dry. It is then sold to offset plant costs as road salt, or whatever other uses sea salt can be used for.
