Imagine if you had a nuclear powered aircraft carrier with a desalination plant on it. You could sail from country to country and fill 'em up with fresh water.

  It may not be able to produce more water than a single city requires: Charleston, SC uses 50 million gallons of water per day* For reference, that's about 75 Olympic size pools (at 660,000 gallons per). * source: https://sc.water.usgs.gov/infodata/wateruse.html https://sc.water.usgs.gov/infodata/wateruse.html

    Well I wasn't thinking about pulling up to a US city, more like Chad, Somalia, etc. They'd be thrilled with 1 gallon per head per day.
