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.
