- hinkley 6y agoAs I understand, there are partial solutions to this. Using some of the brine, for one, and combining the brine with treated wastewater for another. The latter depends a lot on how closed cycle your process is. Most of the water I use to shower or wash my clothes ends up in the sewer. Filling a swimming pool, not so much. Watering my lawn, only what overflows into the storm water system. It's also distinctly possible we may have to build offshore desal plants to keep the thermohaline cycle running, using the brine as geoengineering.
