Salt water is pumped through a very fine membrane which does not allow the salt to pass through (osmosis). Only part of the water is "desalinated". The rest, with all the salt, is usually pumped back into the ocean, at some distance away from the plant.
how much does it cost to build a big water plant?

It scavanges oxygen in water systems to prevent corrosion of piping.
Advantages· Distillation offers significant savings in operational and maintenance costs compared with other desalination technologies. · In most cases, distillation does not require the addition of chemicals or water softening agents to pretreat feedwater.· Low temperature distillation plants are energy-efficient and cost-effective to operate.· Many plants are fully automated and require a limited number of personnel to operate.· Distillation has minimal environmental impacts, although brine disposal must be considered in the plant design.· The technology produces high-quality water, in some cases having less than 10 mg/1 of total dissolved solids.· Distillation can be combined with other processes, such as using heat energy from an electric-power generation plant.Disadvantages· Some distillation processes are energy-intensive, particularly the large-capacity plants. «Disposal of the brine is a problem in many regions. · The distillation process, particularly MSF distillation, is very costly.· Distillation requires a high level of technical knowledge to design and operate.· The technology requires the use of chemical products, such as acids, that need special handling.
Pure salt is not the typical product. It's a brine of water and salt water. Tampa's plant uses the brine to produce some of the energy needed to run the desalination equipment. Many others disperse the brine back into the ocean.

They get it from a desalination plant onboard a mighty fine ship.
A water desalination plant removes the salt content from sea water, so it's fit to drink.

Yes. It helps to assuage Israel's water issues.
