By evaporating the water with a cold object slanted above it. This means that the water evaporates, leaving the salt behind and then condenses on the metal plate. It drips along the plate, falling off the edge as pure water.
This can be achieved from a number of ways. For doing this on a large scale, one way is through desalination, where seawater is channeled to a desalination plant where the salt and impurities from seawater is removed.

salt water
What is the process called to produce drinking water from seawater?
Distillation.
How and where do penguins obtain water?

What is the correct name for engineering plants that distill seawater into drinking water?
Desalination plants convert sea water into drinking water by distillation.
How do you obtain salt from seawater?
you obtain salt from seawater by getting a container then let it sit out in the sun. By allowing it to sit out in the sun you will evaporate the water leaving the salt behind.
What does Dubai government do to provide drinking water to its people?
the government purifies the muddy water by distilling it and desalinates the seawater to make it fit for drinking.
Can you take sea water and drink it?
On average, seawater in the world's oceans has a salinity of about 3.5%. This means that every kilogram, or every litre, of seawater has approximately 35 grams (1.2 oz) of dissolved salts.Accidentally consuming small quantities of clean seawater is not harmful, especially if the seawater is consumed along with a larger quantity of fresh water. However, drinking seawater to maintain hydration is counterproductive; more water must be excreted to eliminate the salt (via urine) than the amount of water that is gained from drinking the seawater itself. The effect of seawater intake has also been studied in laboratory settings in rats.This study confirmed the negative effects of drinking seawater when dehydrated.
What do sea birds use for drinking water?

What are the materials needed to obtain fresh water from seawater?
It will need a Reverse Osmosis membrane to filter out salts from the water.
