And demand that NYC be reasonable.

San Diego is going online NEXT year with a desalination plant.

The technology is there. Cost effective actually, from Lockheed Martin. Cost effective desalination is available.

There are alternatives for NYC to get its water, and stop living in fear when the reservoirs are over 98% full like they are now.

A couple of releases to get through this dry spell, thats all we are asking.

And demand NYC come up with alternatives, that are technologically feasible and practical, if it is going to act as though a serious drought is imminent at all times - while the reservoirs are 98 percent full.

And kill jobs in upstate New York.

Sign please.

No, I am saying that NYC has alternative sources of potable water that would allow for releases when the reservoirs are 98 percent full, as they are today, and would save jobs upstate by doing so.

What are the other sources in place?

Tom, if New York City is going to act like a drought is imminent, when the reservoirs are 98 percent full, we need to ask whether it isnt reasonable to demand that they build desalination plants, like they're doing in San Diego today. Their plant will be online in 2016.

It doesn't take long to build. Lockheed Martin says that it has developed cost effective desalination technology, and to me, it makes sense to put pressure on NYC to invest in innovation and technology, especially if it saves jobs upstate.

98 percent full.

And they're acting like its a California drought..

So why not prepare for it if we're gonna cause folks upstate - who actually work and arent looking to sign a fracking lease - to lose their livelihoods?

For the immediate term, the Croton system has just come online and is providing water to NYC again.

Yes, great plan. They will have a plant that burns fracked gas and oil to power those desalination plants, just like the model held up to us in San Diego...

Encina Power Station (EPS) is a large natural gas and oil-fueled electricity generating plant located in Carlsbad, California, in San Diego County.

NYC could get the fuel from their own property even...

So you should be all for it.

Did you sign, FF?

(To be clear, the reverse osmosis technology from Lockheed does use methane gas for its filters - which you are objecting to - but at a fraction of the San Diego plant's costs, which was built by an Israeli company.. Its feasible.)

I agree but there is a lot more to it. 98% full sounds like a lot but its not. Its like saying i may be losing my job but my bank account has money in it so why not spend on entertainment? Not sound thinking right? Well it not sound to say our reservoirs our 98% full so lets let water run down the river for fisherman and if we have a problem we will worry about it then. And although the plants can be built rather quickly the government red tape will take longer to pass than the actual construction. But i agree, they should start but it will take years to complete

Come on.

Let em know that if they fear a drought this badly, they need to make plans for the future when it actually could get really bad.
