Dump it in the ocean? It's not like we're extracting water in sufficient quantities to affect the salinity of the Mediterranean.

- SAI_Peregrinus 7y agoThe issue there is with the mixing rates. While we won't affect the overall average dumping will create local zones of increased salinity, which can be a problem.
- m463 7y agoI remember reading the problem is that the salinity of the local dumping area rises sharply (maybe killing marine life)
