My understanding is that the City of Riyadh smack dab in the middle of
Saudi Arabia gets it's water from the Red Sea. There's a 48 inch
diameter pipe line that carries salt water from the Red Sea to a
desalination facility in Riyadh. They desalinate the water and use it
for cooking, cleaning and drinking.

When hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, one of the things they needed
was fresh water, and they used desalinated water from the Gulf of
Mexico.


Much of that water was made on Naval ships.

California could save itself, the darter fish and water the farms
denied water by the EPA.

A line from San Diego to Phoenix. CA can make their own water, but
they love big government saving the world.

Lake Mead supports AZ, CA & NV. Some runs off in Mexico somewhere in
salt water.
