alt Hacker NewsI believe the most efficient method to turn "ocean water into drinking water" is called "rain". We just need to better collect and transport the output of what is effectively the world's biggest solar-powered desalinator.

Let’s grab a giant pole and catch clouds. I wonder how much liter of water a giant cloud is. I also wonder what a good unit would be for a cloud. Small, medium and large is all I have

Well, sometimes it doesn't rain and (at least for coast regions) being able to desalinate can be of critical importance.
Obviously this is region specific, but slowing down water is one of the best ways to have fresh water.
Slow it down from trickling down a slope and you have two things: more vegetation (which also retains water) and more time for that water to penetrate the ground for local wells.
You can completely "terraform" a desertic region https://youtube.com/shorts/cfhbtgon4Nk?is=oAExB5UeMAsShBux
