For civilians to do this and be as efficient as possible, they would basically have to integrate the desalination plants into close operation with an electric power plant near a large body of water, preferably the ocean. Plus there is the issue of more pollution being in the water closer to land than at sea. That means ensuring better monitoring of water than we do (we don't generally have to worry about foreign chemicals in our water, just microbes, bacteria, and maybe some algae, by the time we make the water, the chemicals have already diluted to pretty much undetectable levels)..
Assuming civilians/military/public/private can pull off large body water/electric power plant/desalination;
Do you think we will ever be capable of doing great infrastructure again, based on the Eisenhower model?
My biggest dream idea for a few days has been to move flood/excess water from the East-to-the-west .
