    Desal itself isnt really that hard, its very similar tech to regular wastewater treatment. What it is though is energy intensive, because the desalinated water starts its life at the lowest altitude and must be pumped up network to be gravity fed like regular water sources. very energy intensive

        absolutely. most water systems are relatively efficient due to gravity doing most of the work but desal removes that advantage
