    yeah, all my water comes from one. we can't just desalinate to our heart's content, not without fusion, or at least dirt cheap solar and operating facilities at 50% capacity. and even then you'd either have to release that brackish water into the ocean again (which has it's problems) or have a giant landfill of salt somewhere

      How about fission? The soviets built at least one nuclear plant that boiled salt water for cooling, which supplied the city with drinking water, other plants include desalination facilities to decrease corrosion.
