MIT engineers and collaborators developed a solar-powered device that avoids salt-clogging issues of other designs.

    Would it be posible to salinate the waste water that goes back to the ocean from treatment plants?

      I think the problem is that it’s too salinated and needs to be put back into the ocean slowly over a wide area.

        Well this would be mixing the treated water with the salt … which in theory should get close-ish to the amount of water put into the system/the original balance

        It actually sounds pretty reasonable at least on the surface.

        Another idea might be shipping that off for cheap road ice control in states with winter weather
