you. most of this plan is about saving water, conserving it and building more storage space rather than channeling water out of california and southern california. that s one of the reasons why we wanted to show you this spot in the l.a. river. we have miles of concrete infrastructure that is built to channel water out to the ocean, just looking south right here, this goes on for 20 miles. and what governor newsom is proposing here is to build storage space, cisterns, reservoirs, to keep water in california, rather than sending all of it out into the ocean. so to put up his bullet points of what he s proposing, 4 million acre feet of storage space. reservoirs, cisterns, to keep water in when it rains, sometimes heavily across california in the winter months. also recycling waste water, water that goes in your neighborhood drains and comes up to rivers. channels like they also wants to recycle. third point taking salt out of ocean water, taking salt out of
