More global drought/water shortage info

Two take-aways:

(1) The PRC takes action and does not just talk - talk -
talk.


That's because they'll throw you in prison if you object -- and
they'll beat you senseless, first.

There's a lot fot be said for the efficiency of communist
dictatorships--in terms of making people comply, that is.

(2) Given the energy required for desalinization, even by
reverse osmosis, it appears the PRC has made a breakthrough
on LF/MSTR [Liquid Fluoride/Molten Salt Thorium Reactor]
design and deployment. The brine produced by reverse
osmosis can also be a useful industrial input/resource.


According to the Poseidon desal project in San Diego, it's only a 33%
boost in salt. Not that briny.

Their "representatives" don't have to put on a dog and pony show for
the voters so no talk-talk-talk.

Consider modern Ships - they Desal sea water on-the-fly.

When living in the south pacific we distilled salt water (get nice large
crystals ) and after (middle 60's ) in practical invention of
RO-DI they did both. Rain Water and then the other two were our
source of drinkable/cooking/bathing... water. Toilets were salt water!
Two water lines to each house.
