  As I understand, desal tech is available, it’s just prohibitively expensive, both in terms of acquisition and operations.

      To be clear it’s ‘prohibitively expensive’ on a governmental scale.

      There’s so few places that have that combo of “not enough water” and “large amounts of wealth” that desalinization just isn’t used a lot.
