Faced with California's worsening drought and shrinking local water supplies, Santa Barbara is looking to the sea for salvation. The coastal city is prepared to spend upward of $40 million to reactivate a mothballed seawater desalination plant that opened in 1992 and shut down just three months later.
Saltwater desalination is an energy-intensive process, and the Santa Barbara mayor said it could raise the costs of the city's water to about five times as much as it normally pays for reservoir water. "It's definitely a costly option," she said. "No water is a worse option."
The largest seawater desalination plant is the United States is currently being built in Carlsbad, a town in north San Diego County. It will supply only about 7 percent of the county's water needs. The facility cost nearly $1 billion and is on track to open in the fall.
Maybe installing a pipeline from Alaska would be cheaper ?

That would be the result of the drought.

Correct .That would be the result of the drought.
but first it starts off with high feed prices because of the drought which leads to ranchers needing fewer cattle , which leads to less milk , which = less cheese , and so on .
A real domino effect .
