More than 844 million people are living without access to clean water, yet there has been no clear solution to this problem.[1] One fact remains, however. Almost all of these places have access to the ocean. The ocean has lots of potential for supplying humanity with fresh water. For one, the sea is large--covering 70% of our planet.[2] If this large resource can be efficiently tapped into, then water could be provided efficiently to many nations that have access to the sea.
