Depending on the size of the desalination plant and where it is being built it can cost Millions of Dollars to buid but seem to produce very clean water for between US$0.49 and US0.53 per cubic meter. The costs are coming down, the quality is going up and the choises available are getting wider.
Desalination requires a lot of of energy or electricity, which makes it expensive.
yes
It is expensive because if requires a great deal of energy or electricity.
Yes. The Earth's water is running out and we need new ways to take water and make it fresh. There are many forms of desalination, but many are very expensive. Less than 1% of the Earth's water is fresh and many people are polluting the very little water we have.
Evaporation and condensation of water - that is the basic one... Others could use reverse osmosis, which is far more effective, but very expensive...

desalination in general is expansive because it requires a lot of energy.

This process is called Desalination.
The desalinated water is more expensive but in many countries is absolutely necessary.
Icebergs are a long way from where the water is most needed, so getting them to where they could be used would cost a lot of money. Desalination is used, to some extent, but it requires a fair amount of machinery and energy, which also means that it's expensive.
