So the question is on desalinization. As many of you may know, the legislature recently passed, I believe, a $1.2 billion appropriation. I think about most of that money is reserved for augmentation of our water supplies, bringing water in from outside, and about 200 million of it is reserved for water conservation. Personally, I would have switched those percentages. So much more of that money would be spent on water conservation and reuse as opposed to this huge amount of money that is going into proposals for water augmentation. (17:19–17:41)
CLAIM
Asserts that most of the $1.2 billion is for water augmentation, with $200 million for conservation.
