Reply to comment by sharksfuckyeah in UIUC Researchers propose a new way to get fresh water from seawater, without the disadvantages of traditional desalination. They say that a vertical “capture surface” that is 210 m wide and 100 m tall, could extract enough vapor floating above warm oceans to supply 500,000 people with freshwater by lughnasadh

That’s a way different thing than desal but does present an opportunity I suppose but the problem always comes to the unpure water products that come out.
