Eli5: why haven’t we started considering or implementing large scale desalinization in response to our water shortages?
In: 307
Can’t find it now, but some time ago I read a story about a new desalination plant being constructed in Florida. Partway through construction, a big storm swept across the state – not a hurricane or anything, just a big rainstorm.
The article said that the storm dumped more water on Florida in 12 hours than the desalination plant was going to produce during its entire expected lifetime.
