As I understand it, the price includes the infrastructure necessary for transportation of the water, but yes, I agree that decentralization makes much more sense.

If I read correctly, a new desalination plant costs 1 billion USD? For that amount of money you can get thousands of smaller decentralised and solar/wind powered desalination systems dotted all over the place with less hazzle of operating costs or distriubution issues yet with much greater redundancies and much lower operating risks. Amazing that the lesson of decentralised (solar) power production has still not learned on the desalination side.
