Desalination system could produce freshwater that is cheaper than tap water

A new solar desalination system takes in saltwater and heats it with natural sunlight. The system flushes out accumulated salt, so replacement parts aren’t needed often, meaning the system could potentially produce drinking water that is cheaper than tap water.

    Could we take enough water out of the ocean for the salt balance to be affected?

      Seriously doubt that. All water ends up in the ocean anyway, one way or another.
      But dumping brine in could wipe the life in that spot.
