Is deformation the process whereby fresh water is obtain from ocean water?
It is called desalinization or desalination.
One group thinks village should build a desalination plant . Which would used to remove the salt from the nearby ocean water . What is the biggest problem with this plan?
the village probably cannot afford a desalination plant

Which statement describes a benefit of desalination technology?
The desalination process converts ocean water to freshwater.
What are the advantages is using desalination?
The advantages of desalination is that you are not going to run out of water if you are using a water source like the ocean.
Where is most of earth freshwater located?
In glaciers. There is more frozen fresh water than in all the lakes and streams. Glacial melting also causes the desalination of the ocean, which is a bad thing. so we want the fresh water to stay in the glaciers
How do you use desalination in a sentence?
Desalination is the removal of salts from solutions in water. There are many ways to use it. An example is: "The ocean water was sanitized and purified by desalination, boiling, and filtration to prepare it for drinking."
What is the definition of desalination?
Desalination means the removal of salts and minerals in either ocean or brackish water and make it safe for human consumption and use.
Is there any law that prevents you getting water from the ocean for desalination and purification?
It depends where you are. Most local authorities would require a planning application if you want to build a pipeline and a desalination plant, even on your own land. But carrying a few buckets away for an experiment should be no problem.
How are desalination and the water cycle similar?
they are, but they are not. The water cycle has water (Lake or ocean, fresh or salt) that evaporates (leaving any salt behind) to become clouds, which rains fresh water that runs back to the sea. Desalination is a process that uses various methods to remove the salt from sea water to make it drinkable. Distillation is the only form of desalination that comes anywhere close to the water cycle, since it involves changing the state of the alter from liquid to gas and back again. Other desalination processes do not change the state of the liquid, but filter it remove the salt and make it potable and same for human consumption.

Would you plant a desalination plant by the ocean or a pumping plant on a river and why?
a pumping plant because a desalination plant costs alot and they produce brine
