its really sad that it is the money that controls the pollution.

one way to skewer that problem is to show that there could be more money made if non polluting ways are used.



wouldnt vegetable oil be much safer?

or just keep a lid on it.



let them legislate all they want , just make sure you real people have the ability to make water at your homes if need arises.

if the legislators and the money thinks the people are going to start making their own safe water then and only then will they start making safe water.

I could see how a home desalination plant could be put on the roofs of houses or in yards , in fact the entire roof could be a desalination plant if designed properly and serve as the roofing to boot.



you would have to brush out the salt from your system because
the salt will not go through the distillery process.

lets just say for instance that you were using long pipes that have been cut in half longways.

the salt water is poured into the half pipes.
the sun heats up the water and evaporation starts.
the evaporated water then moves upward and clings to the plastic sheets.
the plastic sheets then drip the water down into half pipes that are used to collect the distilled water.

the salt will stay in the saltwater half pipes , so you would need a way to clean the salt out of the saltwater half pipes.

adding the salt and fishery

you could add saltwater fish in the saltwater half pipes
but you would need to control the salinity of the water or the fish might not live long.

so you would need a system to collect the salt.

and maybe use a fish that can adapt to fluctuating salt concentrations like salmon.

the fish would probably absorb a good portion of the salt themselves if there were enought fish growing in the saltwater.

every time you harvest a saltwater fish you would be removing some of the salt.
