S.Calif. can get enough water to supply their personal needs and
industrial needs from the ocean. It would be more expensive,
but it could be done because they wouldn't need to pump it
like a place like Phoenix would ( up 1,000 feet and over 500 miles ).
If all the people in the LA basin used water like rybert, for instance,
there wouldn't be any pressure on supplies.

The places where wars will be fought are where usage is in the single
digits of gallons/day - per household.
Their idea of conservation is to drink less water.
Our idea of conservation is to prevent the water from running down
the street so much when we are watering our lawn.
Their idea of a lawn is " what's a lawn? "
