Global consumption: 4T cubic meters/yr Desalination costs: $.50/cm-->$2 trillion=only 2% of global GDP. We will never come close to this, as consumption is only 4% of rainfall on land(~100T cm/yr). Freshwater management is a local concern, not a global resource limit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_rainfall_climatology https://www.statista.com/statistics/268750/global-gross-domestic-product-gdp/ https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/news/2021/current-research-and-innovation-trends-in-desalination#:~:text=Growth%20in%20capacity%20has%20also,with%20many%20conventional%20water%20sources. https://www.parksandrecbusiness.com/articles/water-consumption-stats#:~:text=Worldwide%2C%20we%20use%20more%20than,cubic%20meters%20of%20fresh%20water.
