Giant California desert surf park ‘irresponsible waste of water’
The project is touted as a first-of-its-kind resort and recreational experience built around a surfing basin created by Kelly Slater Wave Company. The end result would be a master-planned resort community featuring a hotel, single-family residences, neighborhood and resort commercial development, and a nearly 17-acre wave pool for surfing. … At build-out, Coral Mountain Resort would use approximately 958.63 acre-feet of water — or 312,370,490 gallons — per year based on the residential indoor demand, non-residential indoor demand, and outdoor demands, according to city documents.
