    Desalination plants.

      Yep. Basically the approach of last resort due to their high cost.

        Honestly it’s not the worst idea in a country surrounded by water and baked by the sun. Just build shitloads of solar farms and power it that way. Probably better than sucking some deep aquifers dry.

      I’m surprised we aren’t really reusing greywater for watering parks, cleaning streets, public (decorative) fountains, etc. Seems like a waste.
