Wouldn’t this be a very lucrative business? Also totally guessing at the flair…sorry.

Yes, this could be a very lucrative business. It all depends on the market and the demand for the services you are offering. Depending on the type of services you are offering, you may want to consider adding a flair such as “Business Consulting” or “Business Solutions” to your business name to help better define the services you are offering.

Such facilities need energy and a location near the end user to save on transit costs. Water is relatively heavy. Long pipelines are expensive to build and maintain. Your end product is vital but still easily and cheaply available through other means in many locations. Desalination plants are essential infrastructure in some larger cities in the middle east already. Requires high population density and lack of alternative resources to really be worth considering.
Since everyone in here seems to be missing the point entirely, it’s simply because they’re not hot commodities. They may be, far in the future, but for now desalination is almost a total waste of money. Very rarely is it cheaper to obtain salt or water through desalination, and trust you will see them getting built should they start going up in price.

Because it’s more expensive to extract fresh water and salt from sea water than the alternatives.
It’s like gold. Gold is valuable but it is only cost effective to mine it above certain concentrations other wise you spend more extracting it than you can sell it for.
Same is true for water.
Libya doesn’t really have any rivers and while it does have a large coast it is very arid. It was still more cost effective for them to spend $25 billion to drill down into aquifers under the desert, build pumping stations and lay 1000 miles of pipe to bring water to coastal cities and farms than build the desalination plants to do it instead.
