OceanWell is hoping to make salty ocean water drinkable with an innovative subsea reverse osmosis project, dubbed the Water Farm 1, which is expected to deliver up to 60 million gallons per day of fresh water by 2030 to thousands of residents in Southern California. Southern California is the perfect place to start due to its over-pumped groundwater basins, recurring and worsening droughts, and reliance on imports from sources like the shrinking Colorado River.
