Why cant Water Desalination Plants store excess Salt on land somewhere?

Question

Brine, salt water, things that come out of Desalination plants are normally put back in the ocean at an environmental cost. Why cant the brine be pumped somewhere safe, or have the salt removed and put somewhere safe? Arent there plenty of places on land to put all of that salt? Why cant the brine be pumped into the desert to evaporate?

Answer 1

Cuz dumping ocean salt back to the water will not make ocean more salty, there is too much water in ocean to make a difference, but having that much salt on land will kill everything that lives there and nearby
