I've always thought that the vast aquifer in the centre of Aus, plus abundant sunlight, should make for easy desalination and irrigation. Glad to see someone's working on it :)

But they can chuck the leftover salt back into the ocean. That's harder to do away from the coast.

Can't they just pile it up in a huge salt mountain?

The salt would leach in to the ground, killing any plant life in the area for a very very long time.
