Texas gets plenty of of rain. Will desalination be cheaper than water management?
The first line of the second paragraph points directly at a drought. So no, this corner of Texas is not getting plenty of rain. Never mind all the industry that's sucking potable water out of the community at pennies to their dollars...
I know about the drought and the flash floods, which send water to parts of the coast further away from the city.
My question was: “is it harder to move the water from the floods towards CC or is it harder to make a desalination plant?”
