what limitations are we placing on technology, IOW it has helped us "populate" but will be unable to allow "overpopulation"....whatever that is.

I have nothing against arguing the issue of overpopulation but I hope it never reaches the aegis of government.

"Life exists only so long as it provides for its own continuance. Whatever men live for, today most live only because of the market order. We have become civilised by the increase of our numbers just as civilisation made that increase possible: we can be few and savage, or many and civilised." F.A. Hayek "The Fatal Conceit"

Expending one resource to gain another is a bad trade off, especially when there are other ways to desalinate water. As for example this one in Morocco tda.gov - I know the project geologist that sunk the shaft and he said the system should work just fine.

Then of course there is the nuclear solution for desalination.
