"Despite the fact that desalination processes have been too costly in the past, Turner argues that new technology could make the procedure a reality in San Diego as soon as 2005. Turner writes that a desalination plant in Carlsbad could provide as much as 10 percent of the region's water. Desalination, Turner believes, could become a cost-effective addition to the water supply portfolio ofthe San Diego County Water Authority (SDCWA)(http://www.sdcwa.org).
