A decades-long battle over a proposed desalination plant
generated considerable attention for desalination. Despite the
defeat of the Poseidon plant in Huntington Beach, CA, the
California Coastal Commission has approved multiple plants since.
As a result, substantial questions remain about desalination's
role in California's water future. In "The Future of
Desalination, Post-Poseidon," we analyze the most significant
barriers and opportunities for desalination to help California
overcome its future water shortage issues due to population growth
and climate change.
"The Future of Desalination, Post-Poseidon" is a part of
Nossaman's
California Water Views - 2023 Outlook, a publication
in which Nossaman's attorneys review topics impacting the water
industry now and into the future, including funding for water
projects, water system consolidation, PFAS and more.
