desalination technology

Desalination is a process that removes salt and other impurities from seawater or brackish water to produce fresh, drinkable water. Common methods include reverse osmosis, where water is pushed through a semi-permeable membrane that blocks salt, and thermal distillation, which heats water to create vapor, leaving salts behind. These technologies are vital in areas with limited freshwater sources, providing a sustainable way to meet increasing water demand. While energy-intensive, advancements continue to improve efficiency, making desalination an increasingly viable solution for ensuring global water security.
