Thank you, from Southern California, for this video. I am using it in my online science class to help students decide for themselves if it is important for them to conserve water. To me it is imperative to conserve and reclaim as much water as possible. I demo'd putting a 5-gallon bucket in the shower to reclaim 3.5 g water per shower to water plants outside. My students need as much accurate information as possible; this is embedded into my presentation.

It turns out that wasting water is cheaper than conserving it..... Public regulated private corperations own the means of distribution and saving water.... reduce their share holders profits . .. in my lifetime...any drought conditions that occurs generally being 5 years with little rain followed by 1 or 2 years of undulation of rain , the last occurrence over topped most of the dams and filled our storage up fully..a 1st in many years.. in between those epic seasons continuous storm system after storm system... most winters are dry or light rains that hardly wash away the street grime and the State issues mandatory reductions or face fines ... ..to determine if your in compliance, your average usage is used ....so if you have been conserving regularly, your expected to cut down even more...... a family member moving back home or marriage adds additional users ..the number of people living at the residency is not taken into account so you can expect to see an increase in your monthly payment... Gross wasters of water like golf courses or the farmers who have water rights allotted before the 20th century when population was much much less then the 40million plus currently living in California, are allow to practice irrigation methods of the same era which generally means flooding their fields so most of the resources (95%) evaporate or soak back in the ground which in the central valley causes salts in the soil to rise up and eventually ruin the lands entirely. There's plenty of water...we aren't using it efficiently as we should

Brian, I appreciate what you do, I havr a special gratitude toward science teachers. However, my issue with conserving water is that companies and/or the state don't give 2 cents about conservation; our efforts are futile. I live in Phoenix AZ, golf courses keep popping up and their grass is very well watered. Nestle water company was approved by the state to mass produce bottled water IN THE DESERT!! Whi in their right mind approves a bottling company to use tap water from the desert to sell all over the US? While I do care about conserving water, I feel that we are only saving it for large companies to waste.

I've been to some of the plants as part of my work. They are almost completely original, even down to the door handles and stuff. Masterpieces of the art-deco style in architecture so common at that time. And each pumping station has a tiny village where the crew lives, with green lawns, a swimming pool and all the comforts of home. At first glance it would seem like a fantastic place to live and work, until one realizes how remote some of those plants are.

I worked in the opposite of what they do. Our problem mostly was getting rid of water. Only seldom was it for water supply. The amount of water going down that ditch is about the same as two of the three pump stations I had control of could move. And we have over 60 in just our area of the State with mine being some of the smaller ones with only 4ft diameter pumps. Some of our places were an hour's drive from the next one and distant ones were up to a 3 hour's drive distance. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Florida_Water_Management_District Here is where I worked out of for 18 years. apps.sfwmd.gov/site-details-report/index.html#/sites/S331 One pump at 400 CFS, out of 3 we had, running today. That one pump has an 8' diameter prop in a 9' opening with the outside diameter of the pump being 10'.

My Uncle worked at the Julian Hinds Pumping Plant back in the later 70s until 1987. He finished his career at the Diemer Plant in Yorba Linda. I remember going out to the Hinds Pumping Plant as a young kid with my Dad and Mom to go see him and my Aunt / Cousins since the whole family lived out there with him obviously. Good memories and what a absolute incredible Engineering Marvel.

I've read that the Nestlé company siphons millions of gallons of water a year out of California's San Bernardino forest, which it bottles and sells as Arrowhead brand water, even as drought conditions worsen across the state. And they hardly pay anything to do this -- something like $500 for a license. How can they keep getting away with this?

One thing we need to do is move water from the ocean back inland to places we need it and if we can do that while generating clean energy we have a chance to mitigate climate change and still have a prosperous future. It is really, really hard but it is not impossible. The biggest idea I am trying to express is tunneling aqueducts from the coast, in this case the west coast of the USA inland to feed combination geothermal power and sea water desalination plants. The idea seems to be so big that no one has considered it possible but I believe it is not only possible but it is necessary. For over a century the fossil water contained in aquifers has been pumped out to feed agriculture, industry and municipal water needs. The natural water cycle cant refill fossil water deposits that were filled 10,000 years ago when the glaciers melted after the last ice age. Without refilling these aquifers there is not much of a future for the region of the United states. As a result ground levels in some areas of the San Joaquin Valley have subsided by more than 30 feet. Similar fossil water depletion is happening in other regions all around the world. TBM and tunneling technology has matured and further developments in the industry are poised to speed up the tunneling process and it's these tunnels that are the only way to move large volumes of water from the ocean inland. The water is moved inland to areas where it can be desalinated in geothermal plants producing clean water and power. In many cases the water will recharge surface reservoirs where it will be used first to make more hydro power before being released into rivers and canal systems. It's very important however to not stop tunneling at these first stops but to continue several legs until the water has traveled from the ocean under mountain ranges to interior states. Along the way water will flow down grade through tunnels and rise in geothermal loops to fill mountain top pumped hydro batteries several times before eventually recharging several major aquifers. What I am proposing is essentially reversing the flow of the Colorado River Compact. Bringing water from the coast of California first to mountaintop reservoirs then to the deserts of Nevada and Arizona and on to Utah, New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming. This big idea looks past any individual city or states problems and looks at the whole and by using first principles identifies the actual problem and only solution. Thank you for your time, I would like the opportunity to explain in further detail and answer any questions
