Desalination

Desalination removes dissolved salts and impurities from seawater or brackish water to produce fresh, usable water. It’s typically achieved through reverse osmosis.

While most associated with drinking water, desalinated water also supports industrial processes, agriculture and groundwater recharge. Since it draws on water sources that are unaffected by seasonal rainfall or aquifer depletion, it’s an effective way to diversify water supplies and build drought resilience.
