Drinking Problem

I always said I did not know when the end of the world would be, but I knew where it would start - Los Angeles. A metro area of what now, 15 million? That doesn't have enough water for a million people. I was always amazed at how much automatic watering was done with all that imported water.
It's a desert. No one should have grass and all that other stuff. Hardscape FTW.

Pump it in from the sea. It's their only option long-term.

I always thought desalinization was one obvious answer (not problem free, to be sure), but I came upon one problem with this that I hadn't considered before: what to do with the salt. Desalinization produces huge amounts of salt; what do you do with it?

If by some fluke you can't find scads of hipsters in LA to pay top dollar for sea salt, there are many, many manufacturing processes that require it.
I don't think that's the bottleneck. My guess is it's the desalination and distribution itself that holds it back. It's likely an energy and infrastructure problem.

How much would they pay for polluted sea salt?

Why does it have to stay polluted?
Please love yourself.

@aqua-letifer How much water would be required to unpollute it?

Put it back into the sea. the water will end up there again.
