Because of contracts that bind governments with companies (that means that the water of the country is owned by a company), more and more governments want to help themselves to the waters of the oceans, which means doing their own desalination. Nowadays, there are 87 corporations building these plants. But this solution turns to be a bad one. First, even though there are more desalination plants in the world, only rich countries, or the World Bank, or big corporations, or the three together are going to be able to afford to build these plants. Second, desalination requires fossil fuels burn and thus leads to more global carbon emissions, which means more global warning. So while responding to one problem, you actually aggravate another. And still, thorny issues remain: who is going to own this water? Once cleaned, will the water be returned to the public domain? In fact, as water is necessary to live, “the ones that own desalination plants will control life”.
