A new scheme for power input of the existing RO desalination plant in Santa Barbara, California, is described. This involves installing a new type of offshore water pump driven by ocean currents off Pt. Conception, CA. A financial comparison is made between three options for the consumer: (1) the cost of water using the State Water Project, (2) using the desalination plant as now built, powered by electricity from Southern California Edison Co., and (3) using the proposed new scheme.
