If you want water in inland regions, and you have a [[http://www.saltworkstech.com/ desalination technology that uses
salt water as an energy source]], you can irrigate land with fresh water if it is located next to a salt water basin. Evaporation and rain will wash the surrounding land of salt contamination. Salt Deserts are a liability if left dry, because of the salt blowing over fertile land. Flooding them with seawater will do no harm, because the desert is already saturated with salt.
