What's the state of technology in producing fresh water from sea water? Isn't there any serious progress making it more efficient and cheap?

- pfdietz 3y agoIt's become progressively cheaper through incremental engineering improvements. The cheapest way is generally reverse osmosis, especially on water that is just brackish. But it's also generally cheaper (per unit of saved water) to just use water more efficiently. Agricultural water use can be enormously economically inefficient in the US.
