Do you think that in view of the predictions, governments around the world should plan to build massive desalination plants to prepare for this disaster?
http://www.countyofsb.org/pwd/water/Desalination.htm "The City of Santa Barbara Charles Meyer Desalination Facility, located at 525 E. Yanonali Street, was built in 1991-1992 as a temporary emergency water supply in response to the severe drought of 1986-1991"
"Because a relatively high proportion of the cost of desalination is in operation rather than capital costs, savings accrue when the water is not needed."It wasn't needed starting when the plant was completed, saving $billions over the years it has
not operated. The cost of desalted water is approximately $1,100/acre-foot. In California's Central Valley, north of Santa Barbara, treated or Class 1 water costs about $50 an acre foot, gravity flow water costs about $36.
