Desalination is a process that removes salt from seawater to produce freshwater. As climate change causes more droughts and changes in rainfall, many areas are using desalination to get safe drinking water.
Key Facts
Desalination turns seawater into freshwater by removing salt.
It is used mainly in regions without enough rain, rivers, or groundwater.
The process is important in areas experiencing water shortages.
Desalination serves millions of people around the world, including in the Middle East and the U.S.
Modern desalination often uses a method called reverse osmosis.
