Unchecked overuse is draining and damaging aquifers nationwide, a data investigation by the New York Times revealed, threatening millions of people and America’s status as a food superpower.
Desal itself isnt really that hard, its very similar tech to regular wastewater treatment. What it is though is energy intensive, because the desalinated water starts its life at the lowest altitude and must be pumped up network to be gravity fed like regular water sources. very energy intensive
i can believe it. Ditch Witches cost a newborn, the pumps and power requirements to Lift water up and move it, then clean it and distribute it to satiate a populace? i can see the money burning

absolutely. most water systems are relatively efficient due to gravity doing most of the work but desal removes that advantage
Hear me out: we move people under sealevel.
