desalinization

Desalination is the process of removing salt and other impurities from seawater to make it suitable for drinking and irrigation. This technology is vital in regions experiencing water scarcity. The two main methods of desalination are reverse osmosis, which uses a membrane to filter out salt, and distillation, which involves boiling water to separate salt and then condensing the steam back into liquid. While desalination can provide a reliable water source, it is energy-intensive and can be costly, leading to ongoing discussions about its sustainability and environmental impact.
