Don't forget solar desal. For example, http://waterfx.co http://waterfx.co. That would eliminate any pollution.

  It probably wouldn't. Desalinization leaves a lot of salty brine to be disposed of.

    Put it back in the ocean? That's where it was before anyways. It's not like that would have any impact on the salt concentration of the ocean.

        My understanding is that desalination doesn't give you crystalline salt, but rather more salty sea water back. Of course you'd have to be careful where you dumped it as a small bay doesn't mix that well. I don't see why you couldn't pipe it out 1-2 miles from the coast. It should mix quite well.
