No need for apologies! I'm just trying to communicate that the situation in which this tech is helpful in one where we have basically given up. The alternatives before us are vastly more efficient, they just require us to have actual control over them. Protectig aquifers, not giving companies free water, not giving companies control over water, building water infrastructure (Jakarta would not be sinking if services and infrastructure had been centrally guaranteed), addressing climate change, not living in inhospitable places (when just), etc.
