<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KikoBlueEyes, post: 4613763, member: 8363&quot;]I live on the Pacific Ocean, and my career brought me in contact with an experimental desalination process that our city was trying to develop.&nbsp; It&#039;s merit was it was less costly than current methods, and it didn&#039;t result in hot, concentrated effluent being put into the ocean near the coast.&nbsp; (This can bring about problematic environmental changes.)&nbsp; It worked on a small scale, failed on a larger scale. At least here, desalination costs more that ground water. </p><p><br /></p><p>Actually, we have a large-scale reclaimed water plant that produces vast amounts of clean water from wastewater.&nbsp; Most of it is dumped into the river, because there is minimal acceptance of it.&nbsp; One of the problems is having to maintain two water systems, one for reclaimed water which has a higher mineral content and one for ground water.&nbsp; Again, expense is a factor.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
