[QUOTE="Chuck, post: 256012, member: 579"] It's not crazy, they've been doing it for a long time. The big drawbacks to it as far as I remember is the energy cost for desalination is really high and the maintenance costs of the plants were high. They can only justify it in places like the Middle East where energy costs are comparatively low. It may be with the improvments in reverse osmosis and new technology the last few years that the cost of doing it will come down to where it is cost effective. [/QUOTE]
