While true, you're going to be desalinating enough water for 1/3rd of a person. That is "I need barely enough water to survive until I'm rescued" amounts, not enough to sustain a population.
Well yes but if you scale it up and use some fancy engineering might be able to do something. For example, we could just put a giant magnifying glass over the entire archipelago of Hawaii. It would solve the problem of the overpopulation issue there at the same time it would provide enough drinking water for the survivors.
Desalination....... I am still at a loss for those island folks with lack of water....
You can literally desalinate seawater with a magnifying lense, a bottle, a tube, and the sun.

Scale it up. we can harness the ocean currents and salt
