Utilities tap water ‘microgrid’ tech for new supply
"Perhaps the most ambitious endeavor comes from the Santa Barbara, Calif.-based Ecomerit Technologies. Its plan calls for deploying 'SeaWell Buoys' that will desalinate water at sea, then pipe it to water stations built along the coast. The stations are about the size of lighthouses, and from there, the water would be added to a local utility’s water supply."
