Is there a compelling and obvious reason we can't dilute brine back into the water we let outflow from our waste systems into the oceans rather than dumping it all at once? or maybe dribble flow at river deltas or so?
Sounds good to me
I mean, if there is a reason I really want to know it. That we aren't doing so suggests there's some reason, although there's a decent chance that answer is, "That would cost anything more than dumping it out the nearest window."
