Or just make agriculture desalinate their own water on their own dime and let the people continue drinking the ground/river water.

It's not like you should be irrigating fields with that mineral-heavy water anyways, isn't it slowly salting the land?

If agriculture had to foot the bill for their desalination needs they would become more efficient automatically.

OOH, pipe the water in from mid ocean, farmers (us subsidizing of course) desal and use the water. This has prob been brought up but i aint heard it yet. I like it.
