We pump brine inland to a large flat expendabe plain and flood it to allow the water to evaporate off and the salt to sette. 20-50 years later, pod racing on the salt flat.
- Dennip 3y agoI think this causes its own host of issues as there are a load of other nasties such as arsenic etc in seawater which would build up there.
- djbusby 3y agoArsenic in Pod fuel too.
- _puk 3y agoHow does that work for e.g. small scale salt farming in many European countries that flood areas with sea water, then harvest the salt after the water has evaporated [0]? Is it just a case of the scale making it safe? 0: https://www.timeout.com/croatia/things-to-do/ston-salt-works https://www.timeout.com/croatia/things-to-do/ston-salt-works
- aziaziazi 3y agoI think so, yes. One person salt consumption seems wayyy less than the brime that would be created by desalination of the freshwater he needs.
- aziaziazi 3y agoThe desalination plan provide water when the groundwater reservoirs are too low to fulfill freshwater demand. The brine slowly go down through geological layers. After 5 years it reaches groundwater reservoir. 20-50 years later, the regions become famous for its fun pod racing and for its numerous ghost cities around the old plain.
