[FRIAM] water, again (was murder offsets)

[cody dooderson]

Desalination might work if you live on the coast, but what about those
living inland. How do they benefit from desalination? Would we be ok with
pumping fresh water from 1000 miles away to put into the Rio Grande in
order to save the silvery minnow?
 Also, I have been told that the precipitated salt from desalination can be
a problem. It causes problems when it is dumped back into the ocean, and
problems when it is left on land to blow around in the wind.
