Yeah in 25-30 years I can see 2-3 huge Nuclear desalination plants in California's future..
That said this year we're getting wet and having a very cold winter here.. And the west coast is just the opposite.. Hot and dry.. What was it? 8-10 years ago the Southeast was having an awful drought. Lots of talk then of a 'new desert forming'.. Now they are getting drenched.

80-85% of California's water is used in agriculture. California was a great place to farm back when there was an abundant supply of water, but now the supply is drying up. Now you've got little towns down river that are at risk of being cut off in order to keep water flowing to farmers who chose to plant their almond trees or whatever in a desert. Keep the people, let the farms dry up and move back to the rust belt where these jobs used to be.
