Eli5: why haven’t we started considering or implementing large scale desalinization in response to our water shortages?
In: 307
Money plain and simple. Desalination of seaworthy is prohibitively expensive. After desalination, the water would have to sell for about 10 to 15 dollars per 1000 gallons. Nobody I’d gonna pay that to irrigate a crop or water their lawn or flush their toilet.
