  1.  @crypzar1461  There's enough ocean water and solar power to desalinate it. The brine can be mined for lithium.

  2.  @crypzar1461  That's only 3% of Johannesburg daily usage.

  3.  @capetownwild  I hope you mean 50 billion liter of permanent desalination.

  4. 11:24 50 liter per person per day. Assuming they drink and cook 4, use 30 to shower 5 minutes, 3 to wash hands, dishwasher 8, and garden 4, that leaves 1 to wash clothes almost every week. Flushing takes 30, though, so where are Bill Gates' composting toilets? Fortunately they reuse shower water for flushing and plan 50 million liter (3% daily usage) desalination by 2026.
