With the near immediate consequences of global warming it is acknowledged by the finest scientists in the world that most continents will suffer drought. There will also be a huge increase in the sea level. |

Well now that you mention it ............ we have just finished prototyping a wind powered distillation system to convert seawater or fouled aquifers into drinking or irrigation water. Will be raising funds to build a commercial scale version after Christmas. |

The water should be desalinated first. It is fresh water that the earth needs methinks. I was thinking many hundreds of thousands of desalination plans on a global level starting yesterday of course. |

OK - well I suggest you look into the energy requirements of desalination - it may cost more than it saves with current desalination approaches |
