$2050/acre-foot = $1.67/m3 (current desalination plant) $1579/acre-foot = $1.28/m3 (Colorado River) $586/acre-foot = $0.47/m3 (storm water capture) So, if the Sorek B plant actually produces water at $0.41/m3, then it will be cost-competitive with the existing sources of water in California. Of course, this comes at a CO2 cost, as the Sorek B plant is gas-fueled. If nuclear power were embraced, the water could be produced without carbon emission.
