When I first moved to Monterey two years ago, I was vaguely aware that there were concerns about long-term water supply and that some sort of desalinization plant had been proposed. With the drought of winter 2013-14 declared an emergency, I started thinking about the water supply and set out to learn more about the desalinization plan. The more I researched, the more information was piling up in my head. I started making notes, and soon found myself organizing them in an online notebook (I can't help myself sometimes.) This blog is the result.
It is not my intent to advocate for any particular position in the controversy. I merely wanted to know what the issues are, and have attempted to document them here as neutrally as possible. I'm not an expert on water, desalinization, or anything like that. Just a consumer (and ratepayer!) on the peninsula who is trying to understand the various proposals in my own way. Eventually I'll probably form an opinion one way or another, but for now I am just gathering the facts.
I'm just getting started....lots more information is still to be added. It's my intent to continue to add information as I find it, as well as update with new developments. So please check back if you don't find everything you wanted to know on the first go.
