I have a post coming soon that touches upon that issue.

What if there was a huge dredging operation to create a canal from a body of salt water into a desert where the water could soak into the sand. I imagine that eventually, the water would naturally desalinate and enter some sort of an aquifer where it could be drawn upon to meet the needs of the people. I have wondered why with all that oil money someone over there that some inventive person doesn’t just pump water from the ocean out into the desert and “see what happens”. Not as spectacular as the Burj Dubai but what if it created a huge underground aquifer of pure water? Wouldn’t that be cool?
