just in response to your description... With todays technology, you can pretty much get fresh water from any water source, including the ocean lol, even submarines produce frenshwater and oxygen nowadays, just the problem of solving food production before they will be able to remain submerged endlessly... =]
Yeah, however the people on the plane had nothing that can be used to make fresh water. There is a water treatment plant on the island however it can't be used until power is restored (which will be hard to do). So it is a good thing to find some fresh water source somewhere.
