Solar powered desalination seems like a no brainer in places like California.

Vastly cheaper to just have an efficient water market. But the current system makes farmer either use their water allocations for agriculture or not have that water at all.
Desalination can be ecologically disastrous. You have to put all that salt somewhere (and it's a lot).
Attach a salt factory to the desalination plant?
