If the past is prelude, what might it be possible to argue about California water policy in a world of climate change and hotter and more prolonged droughts? California will solve all its water problems through technological innovations and brilliant and massive hydro-projects. California will continue to commit the sins of "serial engineering" which will likely lead to new and as yet unpredicted problems concerning water purity and distribution. Desalination will solve all of California's water-related problems everywhere in the state. California's water-related history does not make any of the scenarios offered in response to this prompt likely in the future.
