Where do you imagine the water goes after you pee it out?


Into the sewage treatment plant, which produces almost-drinkable water. That's what we should be reclaiming with reverse-osmosis, but instead we dump it into the ocean.

(The main problem with desalination is not so much that you're taking the water as that you're then dumping concentrated brine into the ecosystem.)
