Amid an ‘imminent’ global water crisis, is the ocean a viable solution to water scarcity?

While around 70% of Earth’s surface is covered with water, less than 1% per cent is actually drinkable.

These finite freshwater resources are very unevenly distributed. In hot, dry regions with growing populations and increasing living standards, there is not enough water to go around — a situation exacerbated by climate change.
