Water conservation

YEP. the land of sunshine

 

There is plenty of water on this planet

Desalination/Distillation Plants are what is needed to provide more clean water

My power is $65-$75 in the cooler months with little to no AC use.
Summer I sometimes hit $350... but my insurance is with AAA and my last payment is June, so by the time I get the June bill, I just divert the insurance budget to cover power until October.

 

Wow.

But you do have a beautiful piece of property to maintain.

I've got a 15x15 back yard that I covered in concrete and Saltillo tile.
Got a few potted plants

 

The water bill at my cemetery during summer months is around $25k/mo...

 

I remember when I first got married my water bill and sewer were on the same bill less than $10.00 bucks every three months. Water tasted good right out of the tap too.

 

.8 GPF Toilet from Costco for $85

 

Late to this thread, but I LOL'd at the OP.

 

It's mostly the Avocado trees that drink up the water. They have shallow roots. They like a lot of water. Plus they need soil that drains away so it washes away ground salts.

 

Desal plants have been built all over the world

Most US Navy vessels have at least one desal plant on board

How cheap do you think water should be ? We can't live without clean water

I guess we can just wait for it to start raining ... The best desalination plant is the earth

 

my hometown is in stage 5 drought restrictions and our lakes that we take water from are at 25% capacity...

we are fuckkkked.

 

They're building one in Carlsbad California near us. It's due to come online in 2016. The biggest problem with them is they're very expensive (about $1 Billion) and take a long time to build. The one they're building in Carlsbad is a pretty good design. They have a powerplant that's already there which uses sea water to cool the plant. So they just tapped off the coolant exhaust (which is currently pumped back into the ocean) and run it to the desalination plant. Plus, it's on schedule and on budget.

 

Just feed the crops Gatorade. It has electrolites and plants love them. Water is for toilets.

 

Sodium is generally bad for plants.

 

um yea

 

Phoenix has many artificial lakes and fountains. The laws regarding water conservation are virtually nonexistent. I find it interesting to drive through Colorado, which has many natural lakes and rivers, yet has much more restrictive water laws than Arizona.

 

I prefer this method of water conservation.

I don't require one ... We have plenty of fresh water in my area

 

Great idea ... stop any further use of water for all of the alcohol,soda, and flavored drink bottling companies ... That would save huge amounts of water and everyone would be healthier just drinking water

 

Could also stop fracking. Would save water and the enviroment at the same time. Funny thing is many areas that are low on water find plenty when they need it to get gas.
