Wouldn't ocean-water to tap be more easier, and palatable? Nuke plants would greatly help in this, too.

There’s nothing left in the treated water but water. Everything else has been removed. It’s drinkable as soon as its processed, but in this case it’s being used to recharge the aquifer.

What amazes me is all the interest in power-intensive methods of desalination for drinking water.
Nothing can compare to the huge desalination system already in existence — evaporation of oceans and the consequent high-quality drinking water known as rainfall.
What I’d rather see than desalination plants is a new network of reservoirs and aquaducts crisscrossing the country. Every year you see rivers flooding people out of their homes. Why ? Why don’t we have a network of aquaducts and pumping stations that can divert that water to where it can be used ? We could turn the West green if we trapped even a fraction of the water from the NorthEast and NorthWest and prevented it from being “wasted” going back out to sea.
