Great Salt Lake becoming the Great Toxic Dustbowl

@Orygun

I do wonder when the first area in the West will ultimately prove uninhabitable even with extremely expensive water projects. At some point it seems like whole swaths of the US will be forced to migrate. The only question in my mind is when. Humans are pretty crafty at delaying the inevitable tho.

I see no reason people would have to leave, it’s dead simple to pull water from the air.

As Water Scarcity Increases, Desalination Plants Are on the Rise

But waste Uber billions on dumb stuff

Easier solution.

I still don’t understand why we, on the shores of the Pacific Ocean, don’t have desalination plants providing water to the west, southwest, and mountain west.

Let alone the cloud seeding that @SixFoot talks about

I’m glad I’m not the only one that wondered about this. I was beginning to think I was an idiot. There must be some logistical problem that I’m not aware of. But I’ve never seen this brought up, so I stayed quiet.

Ship it to the east coast. They could use it. That’s the same crap they use on the roadways, isn’t it?

[FloridaYankee]

166 dollars a month for water for a family of five? That’s not cheap lol, and far more than any farm could afford give they use probably a thousand times more than people using it to drink and bathe.

It’s California.

from https://www.reuters.com/world/us/desalination-advances-california-despite-opponents-pushing-alternatives-2021-07-28/

Environmentalists say desalination decimates ocean life, costs too much money and energy, and soon will be made obsolete by water recycling. But as Western states face an epic drought, regulators appear ready to approve a desalination plant in Huntington Beach, California.

After spending 22 years and $100 million navigating a thicket of state regulations and environmentalists’ challenges, Poseidon Water is down to one major regulatory hurdle - the California Coastal Commission. The company feels confident enough to talk of breaking ground by the end of next year on the $1.4 billion plant that would produce some 50 million gallons of drinking water daily.

Well, I sure do agree that it was stupid of us to stand up a huge agricultural industry in the middle of the desert, and we sure do need to look at this. But this is becoming a national emergency, and we need to get it done.

manmade toxins like mercury, arsenic and selenium.

Hmmm.
Poor word choice?

[bigtwnvin]

Regardless of the solution, in the case of the Great Salt lake? A pipeline from the Pacific to the lake should have been built years ago.

Astronauts have been drinking recycled piss since about forever.

And guess what.

At some point in history, animals have taken a piss or a dump in every molecule of water that exists on the Earth.

Literally every drop of water in our bodies and every drop of water we have ever drank has contained animal feces or piss at some point.

Yeah- costly for a family, impossibly expensive for agriculture. Bottom line there shouldn’t be Ag in the deserts of Utah and frankly a lot of the West.

That would be phenomenally stupid.

Well when praying for rain doesn’t work…

Utah governor asks residents to pray for rain to help combat a record drought...

[Orygun]

But yeah they are definitely considering it. The cost will likely be prohibitive without Federal money allocated for it.

Utah lawmakers consider a pipeline from the Pacific Ocean to the Great Salt Lake

Then drink public piss and be sure to thank (D)addy.
