Letters to the Editor: Using animals for food is draining California's water supply (via latimesopinion )
Skelton says we need to “plant fewer thirsty crops, such as almonds.” He ignores the egregious use of lower Colorado River water for alfalfa, which is grown in the California desert and much of it sent overseas to feed livestock.
The obvious solution is more water, and history shows us the way. When the L.A. River wasn’t enough, we brought in new water from the Owens Valley. When that wasn’t enough, we imported water from the Colorado River and Northern California. Others have done it. Just one of Saudi Arabia’s desalinization plants can produce 370 million gallons of drinking water a day. Israel has five plants that produce about half the water it uses. There are at least 16,000 operating desalination plants globally.
