A new solar desalination system takes in saltwater and heats it with natural sunlight. The system flushes out accumulated salt, so replacement parts aren’t needed often, meaning the system could potentially produce drinking water that is cheaper than tap water.
This is great to hear. This tech is going to need to be near ubiquitous in a decade.
This showed up in my feed just above a post about New Orleans saying they need a freshwater pipeline because of saltwater incursion into the Mississippi. The juxtaposition was eerie.
