Yes of course. Desalination plants are being built but they are expensive. Actually, wastewater to potable recycling (Direct Potable Reuse) is about half the cost and much more sustainable. Wastewater is 100% recyclable producing biofuel, methane, nutrients and soil conditioners, and of course safe drinking water. DPR water is essentially rainwater and higher quality than most natural waters. There is a barrier to acceptance in some of the public but it is actually the ideal way to go.
