Unchecked overuse is draining and damaging aquifers nationwide, a data investigation by the New York Times revealed, threatening millions of people and America’s status as a food superpower.
Why do you think Nestle Blind Torture Kills every fresh water source it has its hands on? Desalination is incredibly hard. That is one of the current anchors we as humans just can’t seem to lift up yet. I wish we could utilize the salt water…but there is a reason the saying goes “water water everywhere, but not a drop to drink” it applies to immediate and long term difficulties with the Oceans waters
Desal itself isnt really that hard, its very similar tech to regular wastewater treatment. What it is though is energy intensive, because the desalinated water starts its life at the lowest altitude and must be pumped up network to be gravity fed like regular water sources. very energy intensive
i can believe it. Ditch Witches cost a newborn, the pumps and power requirements to Lift water up and move it, then clean it and distribute it to satiate a populace? i can see the money burning
b) [in order to create wealth] factories create jobs
c) jobs return taxes
d) taxes return money
e) money can be returned to factories to hold it in place
For water extraction, we only need to add a line where we state water is replenishable, another stating that is easy and cheap to extract and a third where we expand on how water is a good in constant demand, thus, easily marketable.
Desalination is not a question of “if” it should be established but a “when” one.

It’s not that hard.
It isn’t profitable. And so nestle won’t do it until it is.

absolutely. most water systems are relatively efficient due to gravity doing most of the work but desal removes that advantage
Hear me out: we move people under sealevel.

a) factories create wealth
b) [in order to create wealth] factories create jobs
c) jobs return taxes
d) taxes return money
e) money can be returned to factories to hold it in place
