There are TWO(2) methods of desalination.

  1. Boiling the Salt water, collecting the steam and allowing it to condense. This is then pure water. The Salt is left behind; does not boil off. This is an expensive method as it involved the costs of heating to boiling point of salt water.

  2. Osmosis. This method has a semipermeable membrane. The salt water is placed to one side of the membrane. The water molecules pass through the membrane and leave the salt behind. It is a much cheaper method as it does not involve the costs of heating salt water. It is generally the method used in dry/arid/desert climates in order to obtain a large quantity of fresh water.
