I am not aware of any RO plants that treat runoff in San Diego... only desal here is either well water (1,000 or more feet deep) or now we have sea water desal... biggest issue I see with rainwater runoff here is that it turns the ocean next to the beach into a sewer for at least 72 hours after the last rain falls... in fact, I'd guess that it is harder (takes more time and actual energy) to turn street/storm drain runoff into potable water than the well water that Oceanside and the Marines purify because there are so many other undesirable things in that runoff that RO alone may not be able to handle without extra runs through the system and/or some different RO filtration to deal with the hundreds of substances that wash off the streets, etc. As for Cleveland, I have no knowledge of what you speak -- I thought you were referring to Lake Eerie as a cistern, but from your last post I'm guessing they built an actual system of cisterns, etc... $187 Billion? That's a lot more than the oft-discussed high speed rail project here that will end up costing some $68 billion... is it possible that Ohio has bought a more expensive boondoggle than CA? Nahhhhhh... Say it ain't so, BCB!
