There are many different ways to make drinking water from salt water
you can let it evaporate and put clear plastic over the water, and leave it
in the sun. It will evaporate and condense on the plastic, the salt will stay
in the container or you can il it and have a container or some contraption
to catch the evaporation and store it in a container you can also start a
fire and boil it, for 7 minutes . But a quicker way to do it is with beach
equipments so you don't need to give in alot of energy to make heat
Sorry thats all i know abou this topic

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.
