Is road salt the only reason that water around the world is getting saltier?
There has to be other stuff.
We talked about that in yesterday's episode.
And how one way this happens is when people pump too much water out of their local aquifer and ocean water starts flowing in.
So I'm hearing there's lots of reasons that the world's fresh water is steadily becoming more salty.

What's the effect there?
You can't reverse it, but you can stop it from getting worse, from getting saltier.

Just the recognition of a problem, but the innovation to do something about it.
