Perhaps with desalination can produce other materials besides drinking water?
- yardie 6y agoDesalination is extremely energy intensive to get potable water. If you're using RO extraction it's 10:1. 90-95% of water is returned back to the sea. That little bit of potable water is just the bonus of compressing saltwater into saltwater.
- newsclues 6y agoYes, but there are desalination plants being constructed at great cost to provide drinking water, so why not get the available minerals etc at the same time...
