Desalination uses TONS of electricity. Where does that electricity come from? Fossil fuels. So this "solution" to water shortage actually increases global warming, which will worsen water shortages. And what happens with all the extracted salt? You guessed it - it goes right back, increasing the salinity of the oceans.
Ah, humans.
