Coastal states also get a lot of rain.

We aren't talking about building fabs way out in Abilene are we?

Georgia’s rain comes in from the west. Sometimes its southwest. The only time it comes from its coast is when a hurricane lands nearby.

Some other commenter was talking about building fabs in the desert. I think we’re certainly in hypothetical territory.

My point was that the “coastal state” comment doesn’t explain how that magically make clean water plentiful.
