Most of the critics ...

Most of the critics expressed in the previous comments apply rightfully to traditional onshore water transfers where water is taken upstream with no precautionnary treatment before transfer.
Via Marina's proprietary system SubmaRiver(R) for water transportation in large quantities and over long distances by an underwater flexible pipe (see www.via-marina.com or for a specific project in Chile www.aquatacama.com) could apply as an offshore alternative to the ILR project attaining the same objectives in a manner at the same time technically viable, economically competitive and environmentally sustainable (i.e. without incurring the same critics).

This would seem to be a practical solution.

Very good concept of drawing river waters before it can merge into sea and taking flexible piping under water along the coast...it can be brought to low value coastal land and pumped in u/g PE Piping to any geographies away from the coast as well. Very interesting.
