We need more desalination plants on coastal cities suffering from lack of fresh water
Why this petition matters

We have vast oceans on our coasts.
You Probably Don't Know This....
Drill 200ft down and you'll hit water - EVERY TIME! This is very basic knowledge -it's called ground water. Why aren't we drilling? If desalinization
plants are too expensive - a never-ending well that's tapped into an aquifer is only $20,000.
I live in Los Angeles, CA - San Gabriel, CA to be exact. There's no shortage of cement washes here that take the rain water and send it to the ocean. What we are lacking is a system that actually holds onto collected rain water and uses it at later times. It's actually ridiculous. Here's an idea - how about we save some of that water. Call me crazy!
If any of this is an insane idea or unmanageable - there are vast oceans right up in Lower Earth Orbit less than 60 miles away. Imagine that; we are literally surrounded by water. The ONLY thing we're lacking is....nothing! Now stop making excuses and go get the F***. water - it's right under your feet or in the ocean.
That's it - there's nothing else to say.
