> Getting 50 litres of domestic water per day from desalinisation would eat up more than half of a month’s income every year. Not getting enough water kills you and these people earn so little because they live somewhere not developed. I have the feeling that if you solve one of these problems the other will solve itself. The better question is.. which one do you solve first? > Let’s take an example of wheat. It takes around 650 litres to produce one kilogram of wheat.14 It would take around 2.3 kWh of electricity to produce the water for this. Take electricity costs in the UK and the water costs $0.66. I would not calculate the cost of crops in terms of the cost of potable water. These are two very different water sources.
