If it actually works it will be patented and then only allowed to governments that can afford the public-private partnerships that essentially totally privatize the water works of the places this takes place in. If it doesn't work it will bleed governments dry until they catch on that it doesn't. Wouldn't be surprised if there's a race-to-the-bottom bidding war for these in the places that need them.

This is true in the US, maybe, but China could pull this off well on a national scale, assuming it works.
