[QUOTE="JonnyP, post: 833838, member: 17918"] I think there would be some way to go before the desalination plants had an effect on the sea water. As El Sid says, they do not super concentrate the saline solution in this case, and the ocean currents should mix and disperse the salt effectively. Over a prolonged period it shouldn't be to much of an issue if it is just Cape Town. In areas where there is little mixing and a lot of desalination, there can be an effect over time although this is only being researched to any extent now. An example being the Gulf states: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0307904X06002241 [/QUOTE]
