Take a bunch of salty water

Remove most of the water for other purposes

You now have to dispose of the same amount of salt, but less water. It's hypersalinated, and toxic as fuck.

Yes but rain fall would mitigate this would it not?

Unfortunately not. It's actually a real problem

Fuck. Maybe we could just eat the salt...
