shouldn't we drain the oceans now?
by 1 centimeters per year
using solar powered desalination of seawater
then use solar power to pump
the freshwater in land where it is needed?
because 97 percent of the worlds water is salty ocean
water and not suitable for drinking.
ocean water volume is roughly 326 million cubic miles
(1.332 billion cubic kilometers),
according to a recent study from
the U.S. Geological Survey.
71 percent of Earth is covered in salty water.
2 billion people lack safe drinking water at home, more than twice as many lack safe sanitation

money
2 billion potential customers just waiting for us to supply them clean water
even if we charge $1 per year that would be $2 billion per year
if we charge $10 per year that would be $20 billion per year
if we charge $1 per week that would be $100 billion per year

salt
we have to mine for a quarter of a billion tons of salt each year that we currently use.
pipeline
The world's longest pipeline is 2353 miles.
the Interprovincial Pipe Line Inc. installation,
which spans the North American continent from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada through Chicago to Montreal:
a distance of 3787km.
solar power
Approximately 12000 TW (terrawatts) of energy
reaches the Earth from the Sun.
That is 1200000000000000 joules per minute
More energy reaches the earth from the sun in one day
than the whole world uses in one year.
Solar is now cheapest electricity in history says International Energy Agency

water storage
water can be stored under the land in vast aquifers as deep as 30,000 feet and as wide 174,000 square-mile .
https://www.livescience.com/39579-groundwater.html
aquifers underground can hold volume of water 100 times greater then amount that can be held on the surface of the land.
the aquifers underneath the deserts were last filled with water over 5,000 years ago.
Deserts
Seen from space, the majority of the Earth's surface is covered by
oceans – that makes up 71% of the surface of the Earth,
with the remaining 29% for land.
what percentage of the Earth's land surface is desert?
Deserts actually make up 33%

fertilizer
human produce 200 million tons of sewage every year
we could make this in to fertilizer and use it to turn the deserts
in to rich agricultural land and wildlife habitats
