Does anyone have knowledge on brackish & desalination water treatment that comes from deep water aquifers?

- Amount of Water or Potential
- What can be done with the effluent?

Gather up all the waste and have Superman throw it into the sun.

Texas Water Development Board has a pretty good (if a bit dated) set of pages about brackish water desal. They have some cost estimates dating from 2012 that will at least get you into the ballpark. They would be a good resource to learn more. Desalination Facts - Innovative Water Technologies | Texas Water Development Board

Why desal it? Brawndo already has what the plants crave - electrolytes!

"- What can be done with the effluent?"

same thing most private wells do with water softener discharge water probably.

Are you thinking residential water well?

Hypersaline brine is the byproduct of desalination of brackish or seawater. Easiest thing to do if you are working from a well deeper than traditional GW supply wells is to drill a deeper well into an already saline aquifer and re-inject the brine. Or truck/pipe it to an older well field and let them reinject it as part of an enhanced recovery system for crude/gas.

Or make chlorine gas and caustic.
