Why not just put it back in the fucking ocean?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Because that's kills fish

How?

You're taking salt from a large volume and putting it in a small area all at once. It kills the fish

I guess if the plan was to sprinkle the salt over miles and miles of ocean, that could work. But that's ridiculous to implement.

Well yeah I imagine airplanes would be used

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?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Unfortunately not. It's actually a real problem

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

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