Dublin Residents Question Timing Of Building New $35 Million Water Park
by John RamosApril 2, 2015 7:29 PM
DUBLIN (KPIX 5) – Amid California’s record drought, the City of Dublin is breaking ground on a massive new water park. Residents are wondering about the timing of the project.
At Dublin’s Emerald Glen Park the grass gets recycled water, the kid’s spray jets have been shut off and the large fountain is dry as a bone, all to save water. So it’s a little surprising to learn
they’re about to build a $35 million water park.
“You can never predict a drought,” Dublin parks director Paul McCreary told KPIX 5.
The city’s parks director said the recreation and aquatic center will include indoor and outdoor pools and water slides. It’s been planned for 10 years now but got postponed when the economy tanked in 2007.
“At this point we’re moving forward with construction. Again, there’s more to the project than just the pools,” McCreary said.
Phil Duncan, who lives near the park, “Hey, time out, this is not the right project at the right time.”
While he doesn’t want the project there at all, Duncan said it really doesn’t make sense to build it when there’s so little water available.
“Obviously this has been in the works for some time. But the reality is we’re in the midst of a historic drought and you cannot go forward with something like this, in these conditions, in good conscience,” Duncan said.
Even kids, who will enjoy the park the most, have questions about the timing. “Kind of weird, it’s a drought. Why are they gonna use all that water for a water park?” said Evan Rusconi.
But the city said they have signed contracts to begin construction this week, with completion coming in 2017, drought or no drought.
“When we finish the project and it’s still in a drought and we can’t fill the pools, we’ll address
it at that point in time. But we are moving forward with the project as planned,” McCreary said.
Right now, Dublin’s water restrictions forbid the filling of any empty swimming pools. The city is hoping the weather will change by the time they open their new water park in two years.

In regard to this topic.....read the last one:
I don't deny what you're saying but can you go into more detail? Why are the elite purposely steering this country into shyt? What's the end game here?
the crises is being engineered purposely, the country is being sytimatically destroyed and this event is ultimately just an isolated attack on the agricultural sector to further diminish the nations supply of produce. The overarching picture is far more disturbing. Expect growing race wars and a financial collapse of the dollar in the not so distant future, all of which is being purposely engineered as well.
This country is going to ultimately be turned flat on its head and the end situation will not be nice. im sorry for what is being said but its the truth

anyway. Israel has a massive desalination plant which im sure they'll be caking off us in the coming years
Megascale Desalination
The world’s largest and cheapest reverse-osmosis desalination plant is up and running in Israel.
Availability: now
Breakthrough
Demonstrating that seawater desalination can cost-effectively provide a substantial portion of a nation’s water supply.
Why It Matters
The world’s supplies of fresh water are inadequate to meet the needs of a growing population.
Key Players
- IDE Technologies
- Poseidon Water
- Desalitech
- Evoqua
On a Mediterranean beach 10 miles south of Tel Aviv, Israel, a vast new industrial facility hums around the clock. It is the world’s largest modern seawater desalination plant, providing 20 percent of the water consumed by the country’s households. Built for the Israeli government by Israel Desalination Enterprises, or IDE Technologies, at a cost of around $500 million, it uses a conventional desalination technology called reverse osmosis (RO). Thanks to a series of engineering and materials advances, however, it produces clean water from the sea cheaply and at a scale never before achieved.
Worldwide, some 700 million people don’t have access to enough clean water. In 10 years the number is expected to explode to 1.8 billion. In many places, squeezing fresh water from the ocean might be the only viable way to increase the supply.
The new plant in Israel, called Sorek, was finished in late 2013 but is just now ramping up to its full capacity; it will produce 627,000 cubic meters of water daily, providing evidence that such large desalination facilities are practical. Indeed, desalinated seawater is now a mainstay of the Israeli water supply. Whereas in 2004 the country relied entirely on groundwater and rain, it now has four seawater desalination plants running; Sorek is the largest. Those plants account for 40 percent of Israel’s water supply. By 2016, when additional plants will be running, some 50 percent of the country’s water is expected to come from desalination.
The traditional criticism of reverse-osmosis technology is that it costs too much. The process uses a great deal of energy to force salt water against polymer membranes that have pores small enough to let fresh water through while holding salt ions back. However, Sorek will profitably sell water to the Israeli water authority for 58 U.S. cents per cubic meter (1,000 liters, or about what one person in Israel uses per week), which is a lower price than today’s conventional desalination plants can manage. What’s more, its energy consumption is among the lowest in the world for large-scale desalination plants.
The Sorek plant incorporates a number of engineering improvements that make it more efficient than previous RO facilities. It is the first large desalination plant to use pressure tubes that are 16 inches in diameter rather than eight inches. The payoff is that it needs only a fourth as much piping and other hardware, slashing costs. The plant also has highly efficient pumps and energy recovery devices. “This is indeed the cheapest water from seawater desalination produced in the world,” says Raphael Semiat, a chemical engineer and desalination expert at the Israel Institute of Technology, or Technion, in Haifa. “We don’t have to fight over water, like we did in the past.” Australia, Singapore, and several countries in the Persian Gulf are already heavy users of seawater desalination, and California is also starting to embrace the technology (see “Desalination Out of Desperation”). Smaller-scale RO technologies that are energy-efficient and relatively cheap could also be deployed widely in regions with particularly acute water problems—even far from the sea, where brackish underground water could be tapped.
Earlier in development are advanced membranes made of atom-thick sheets of carbon, which hold the promise of further cutting the energy needs of desalination plants.

nikka what?
Govt.
not sure why the free market didn't ration their use of water before we hit the point of no return
govt. agents
I thought the market always self regulates sir?
So when 50% of the water supply was being overused by businesses, why didn't they act to lower their overall consumption while setting up a fund for desalination plants?
Where exactly is the "free market" you are speaking of? California?
interesting question you ask
what businesses have caused a drain on the California water supply?
Anytime the state keeps cost artificially low, a shortage is inevitable.
Same thing occurred with electricity here in Cali. but apparently no one can connect the dots...
To answer you directly, govt. has caused the shortage.

I'm sure someone already mentioned this, but private citizen home water use doesn't even come close to using as much water in Cali as the farming industry. If they really wanted to stop wasting water they'd stop growing shyt in Cali that doesn't grow in Cali
