Saltwater factory

Aruba has NO fresh water anywhere, or at least not anywhere near enough to support it's population. So, this factory puts a massive pipe into the ocean, sucks in the saltwater, and then turns it into fresh water. Not sure how, but my guess would be evaporation by boiling collecting the steam - etc.

When I vacationed here - the bath water was a yellow color -> lot's of bubblebath made me forget. And the hotel ran out of water twice in a week.

ARUBA is 'one happy Island!" - it's perfect. Out of the hurricain zone, 80F degrees year-round, always a slight breeze, mostyly sunny hardly any rain.
