Comment on Desalination system could produce freshwater that is cheaper than tap water

Nothing about this is “new”.
Evaporating water and catching it has been the way to produce fresh water since, like ever. But it’s slow, and prone to bacteria.

The “new” is the way they’re doing it

Apparently they solved the issue of how to keep the waste salt from clogging up the system.

No they didn’t. It’s never been an issue. Just don’t evaporate all water and use a new batch of salt water before the previous one gets saturated. Availability of salt water usually isn’t the issue.
