Ocean #desal is LA’s most expensive water supply option. 🤑

Thanks, but no thanks. We’ll stick with conservation, wastewater purification & saving the rain 🌧

LA County is investing in stormwater capture to help meet its H2O demands while preventing pollution to our waterways.

✅ Turning a free resource into drinking water? YES! 💦

❌Spending millions on environmentally harmful ocean #desal? NOPE. #desalSUCKS

Verification

Seawater desal is…

“unlikely to be a major part of California’s water supply portfolio due to its high cost of operation, the availability of other sources of water (such as recycled wastewater), its high energy use and the resulting high levels of greenhouse gas emissions, and siting difficulties given the fragility and importance of California’s coastal ecosystems.”  Water in the West, Stanford University, 2016.
