    They have 591 km of coastline.

    lots of salt water + lots of solar energy = lots of desalinated water

        Presumably it’s toxic mostly because of the concentration of salt.

        If it can’t be used—and up north salt is used in winter for roads—it can be cleaned a bit, diluted with more seawater and discharged back into the ocean.

        ((the brine of 1 mass unit of seawater that’s been desalinated) + 20 units of regular seawater) ÷ 20 = 20 units of 5% saltier seawater discharged
