Water Purification is Cheaper and More Environmentally Friendly Than Desal

"They’re instead counting on San Diego’s water-purification strategy, which calls for capturing raw wastewater and filtering it to generate drinking water that’s comparable in quality to distilled water. Water purification [...] takes only one-sixth of the energy required to treat seawater. And unlike desalination, the water-purification approach avoids killing marine life." - excerpts from article in San Diego Union Tribune.
