Reply to comment by momo_0 in UIUC Researchers propose a new way to get fresh water from seawater, without the disadvantages of traditional desalination. They say that a vertical “capture surface” that is 210 m wide and 100 m tall, could extract enough vapor floating above warm oceans to supply 500,000 people with freshwater by lughnasadh
The oceans are very, very big compared to the amount we use.
The US' entire annual water usage is equal to a square 1500 feet by 1500 feet extending down to the offshore ocean basin. Any removal of anything from anything is going to have repercussions, but this is about as low impact as you can get.
