Given the cost of extraction its hard to imagine it being a cheaper option than desalinisation.

Cheers PM. Brains addled.

Rather depends on the quantity involved I would imagine and the logistics. Rather early to calculate that. Plus if you have to supply hundreds of thousands of people desalination is not that efficient.
