The water is good for industrial purposes but you don’t want to make communities rely on it as it lacks the minerals they get from regular water.

Nice idea but it’s not that simple, an estimated 76 million tons of CO2 are emitted annually as a result of desalination processes.

Desalination is key to providing fresh water to millions of people around the world. Yet, it can harm marine wildlife, takes a lot of energy, and it’s often not sustainable.

true, and the salty brine gets pumped back into the sea near the water intake. Not solved yet.

Desalination is a process by which salt and brackish water is pulled out of the ocean and run through a system to result in clean, drinkable water. However, desalination is not a fail-safe process and carries with it many environmental repercussions.
