How would you attempt to separate the salts from salt water?

Commercially salt is obtained from salt water by evaporation. Salt water is filled in the field and allowed to evaporate during summers when there are no rains. The water goes out in the form of water vapors and what remains on the ground is salt. It is collected carefully, refined and marketed.


Can you pipe ocean water into ground to refill aquifer?

Piping ocean water into the ground to refill an aquifer may not be feasible due to the high salt content of ocean water. The salt would contaminate the aquifer and make the water unusable for most purposes. Other methods, such as desalination or capturing rainwater, may be more suitable for replenishing aquifers.

Why isn't ground water salty?

Because fresh water comes from rain water, and the moisture in the clouds that form rain is salt-free. If salt water evaporates, the salt stays behind on the ground. But it is possible for a 'fresh water' late to be salty even though it is a long distance from the ocean, if that lake started to dissolve underground deposits of salt. There are some lakes that were made with rainwater that are located over salty ground and they are saltwater lakes. But most lakes are fresh water. I am amazed that the Great Lakes in the northern U.S.A. aren't salty, because it's hard to believe that all those tens of thousands of square miles of ground underneath them doesn't have a similar concentration of salt than the ground underneath the world's oceans. But I suppose if only a couple places on Earth had salt deposits under the oceans, that would be enough for the salt to dissolve and spread worldwide.
