This is a fascinating comment.
In a municipal environment, would standard remediation of sewer water be good enough to dilute the brine? It seems like you could get something close to a closed loop. Obviously some water would be lost to evaporation, but in a city a lot of water comes out of the tap, over dishes or people or laundry, and then right back down the drain. It's not drinkable anymore, but we've got lots of tools to make it reasonably cleanish enough to put in a river. Would using that gray water to dilute brine alleviate some of that pain?
I'm not remotely an expert in this area, just spitballing here. But you clearly have some experience. I'm curious if closing the loop might be enough to make such a system workable.
