desalinationRemoval of salt, usually from sea water, to produce fresh water for irrigation or drinking. Distillation has usually been the method adopted, but in the 1970s a cheaper process, using certain polymer materials that filter the molecules of salt from the water by reverse osmosis, was developed. Desalination plants have been built along the shores of Middle Eastern countries where fresh water is in short supply. How to thank TFD for its existence?
