California municipalities have often opted against building desalination plants due to high costs, environmental concerns, and the energy-intensive nature of the desalination process. The significant financial investment required for construction and operation, combined with potential impacts on marine ecosystems and water quality, has led many local governments to prioritize alternative water sources and conservation strategies. Additionally, advances in water recycling and groundwater management have provided more sustainable and less controversial solutions.
