A Unified Voice for Water Desalination and Salinity Management in the Golden State
Because desalination needs a strong and unified voice, there is now CalDesal. Ocean-water and groundwater desalination can play a major role in meeting California’s future water needs, but this plentiful resource faces increasing challenges on a variety of fronts. Managing concentrated salts in water is also a critical health and environmental challenge. Now is the time for California’s water industry and water advocates to step up and be heard. CalDesal is where your voice will join with others, unified to affect real change for both desalination and salinity management for California’s future.
How CalDesal Works for You
As a non-profit managed by its members, CalDesal advocates in Sacramento and throughout the state for legislation and regulatory action to facilitate the use of desalination to help meet California’s water-supply challenges. By joining together behind a singular, common cause, CalDesal members benefit from:
- Focused legislative and regulatory advocacy

CalDesal's focus is on:

Why CalDesal?
CalDesal is the only advocacy group in California solely dedicated to advancing the use of desalination and salt concentrate. Other organizations choose not to engage, or address desalination and salt concentrate as part of broader policy platforms. CalDesal’s narrow focus allows for the most targeted, credible and persistent support for this important technology.
CalDesal Members Include:
- Regional water utilities
- Special district water providers
- Cities and Counties
- Water industry advocates

Now is the Time!
With California in a declared “Water-Supply Emergency” and proposed solutions hinging upon increased precipitation or voter approval, there has never been a more important time to commit to locally produced desalinated water. Opponents of desalination are better funded and better organized than the water industry. But not for long! Help us engage, level the playing field and make desalination a reality.
