Desalination I suppose. Israel has really pushed the limits. California has private desalination companies supplying drinking water.

  There is very little saltwater supply in Switzerland.

    I mean, is there any natural saltwater in Switzerland? GP sounds a lot like the whole "I'll sell you a beachfront property in Arizona" thing.

      There’s also very little crude oil in Switzerland. And very few coffee and cocoa beans. I wonder how they make their famous Swiss chocolate?

        They use their Large Hadron Collider to synthesize it.

        Oil is brought in via the Rhine river and processed at the refinery in Cressier. It would of course be possible to ship seawater instead and desalinate it. I doubt it’s an economical enterprise.

    Hah sorry. I read "low lands" as "low countries". You could pipe it but at that point you might as well find a different fresh water source.
