Passive desalination. Just massive tubs filled with saltwater that evaporates naturally in the sun. It's not very fast, but you could get thousands of gallons a day out of one with zero energy use. People have been doing it for millennia.
If there really was a water crisis, they'd be investing the $500 it costs to put a plastic cover on top of a steel tub. They're doing nothing because there is no crisis. They just don't want you having anything.
The fact that California never invested heavily enough in desalination plants throughout the years is proof that state was destined to burn.
It's Cali: No amount of desalination plants could make those people less salty.
OH, you meant for the water. Right. That makes more sense.
There's not much point investing in desalination plants when they refuse to invest in their power grid.
