what about desalinization, the source is less effected by climate change than fresh water. it presents design issues but water manager cans plan around that. the key issue is, energy. desalination is energy intensive and those will be increasingly scrutinizeed the future because of climate issues. it's about one third in southern california next most sensitive operation but that gap is shrinking rapidly and it's conceivable in a decade or sooner, it might take less to de sal has been declining and we may actually at some point reach a breaking point that a lot of folks did not think was possible and we might be able to invest in desalination, it's really interesting potential development. next slide. what that means, is when you look at how it will effect the full range of water management tools available of tools that rely on snow,pack, traditional resources will perform more poorly with de sal as the wild card there. the good news here - and i brought that the sources we believe are the sources with the greatest potential in the future. this shows the potential yield from

i meant to ask maurine, she described the - well, what i want to know is are they valuing the desalination, not one of them i've seen accounts for rising sea level example. it might be done for some but not all of them. are they be evaluated underhigher temperature scenarios. are the yield numbers being evaluated that. are the ones under existing scenarios and i'd like to know that and if the answer is, no, it ought to be. it will effect the economic decisions made and ultimately investments in part infrastructure. we may choose not to do many things differently, and accept a higher level of risk, but i would argue that if we're smart we will do things differently to reduce exposure for the future. >> just because it came out yesterday. the department of water resources has done a number of runs with reservoirs in inflows in the sierra area and it's 30 percent of inflows likely from today. the worst case is a reduction of 19 percent a big reduction. upstream at, fulsom, yesterday it was like ten billion dollars to build that reservoir and that's a great example for water managers to take w
