Scenario:  A water crisis has hit San Diego county and 50% of our water supply has been cut off!  What do we do?  This is both a supply and demand issue.  What are some feasible, quickly implementable solutions on both sides of the equation?

 Supply: 

• Utilize San Diego county backup water reserves (Have 7 months of reserves in SD county)
• Expand the scope of where we get our imported water from.  Negotiate transfers from other territories.  Manufacture water from aircraft carriers (contain small-scale desalinization equipment), truck/train in from water-rich areas.
• Coordinate with FEMA and US Army Corps of Engineers to drill new wells in local aquifers.
• Government subsidized water purification equipment for residential and industrial use.  Including chlorine tablets and other site-based water filtration systems.

Demand: 

• Set per person water allocations at a residential level.  Allocations designated for business types.  Census systems mobilized to determine residential and business allocations.
• Suspend all development projects. 
• Cut all public irrigation lines.

-(Termination of public lawn/landscape water useage with the exception of continued irrigation of specific tree species).

•  Provide government subsidies and incentives to retrofit all the big-water-waste appliances in homes. 
• Evacuate large farm animals to areas not in a current water stress state.
• Eliminate washing of government vehicles/machinery/space
• Conversion of pool water use for non-potable uses w/in the household.  Prohibition of pool fill/re-fill
•  Water conservation public education including information on gray water utilization strategies, rainwater collection/storage tanks, alternative clothing/dish/personal washing/hygiene methods
