The question with desalination is always the same what will you do with the salt ?
If it was just salt it wouldn’t be a problem. Salt is an essential nutrient and industrial product and we actually run seawater evaporators today specifically to farm the salt. We mine salt out of mountains and ship it around the world. Salt is our friend.
The actual question is what to do with the concentrated salty sludge by products.
