Cynicalobserver raises some excellent points about prudent water management steps that are needed BEFORE desalination is contemplated. However, he/she is quite wrong about "dead zones" and impacts to the marine environment. There are 691 seawater reverse osmosis plants operating around the world which produce 0.5 billion gallons of drinking water daily. They are located as follows:

Asia = 118
Europe= 145
MENAGTZ = 214 (Middle East, North Africa, Persian Gulf)
North America = 31
Rest of world = 183

I challenge CynicalObserver to name one, just one, with a documented dead zone or other documented examples of marine destruction. You can't do it because this is a myth.
