Californians have a lot of ideas for how to get more water. Most of them are really bad
When it comes to water, Californians have a lot of big ideas for how to get more of it. One of the latest is in Marin County, where water managers are looking to build an eight-mile pipeline atop the towering Richmond-San Rafael Bridge. The line would allow water to be moved across San Francisco Bay from other parts of the state, to prop up sagging local supplies. But for every grand plan pushing forward like this one, a dozen others – often more ambitious and sometimes outright wacky - get only eye rolls and a quick thumbs-down.
