Ocean water can be made drinkable through desalination processes such as reverse osmosis or distillation. These methods remove salt and impurities from the water, making it safe for consumption. However, desalination can be expensive and energy-intensive, so it is not always feasible on a large scale.

What makes most of the Earth's water undrinkable?
Most of the Earth's water is undrinkable because it is either salty ocean water or contaminated with pollutants, making it unsuitable for human consumption. Desalination processes can make salty water drinkable but are expensive and energy-intensive. efforts to reduce pollution are needed to make more water safe to drink.
Which is earths largest source of drinkable water?
The largest source of drinkable water on Earth is groundwater. Groundwater is found beneath the Earth's surface in aquifers and provides water for drinking, agriculture, and industry. It is a vital resource for many regions around the world.
How much percent of the world's water is drinkable?
Roughly 3% of the world's water is drinkable, with the majority being found in glaciers, ice caps, and underground aquifers. However, of this 3%, not all is easily accessible or safe for consumption due to contamination or pollution.
Why is 2 percent of the earth's water drinkable?
Only 2 percent of the earth's water is drinkable because the majority of the earth's water is saltwater found in oceans, making it unsuitable for consumption. The remaining 1% of freshwater is mainly locked in ice caps and glaciers.
Why is only 2 percent of fresh water drinkable?
The majority of Earth's fresh water is locked away in glaciers, ice caps, and underground aquifers, making it inaccessible for drinking. Additionally, pollution and contamination have further reduced the amount of drinkable fresh water available for human consumption.
Is ocean water drinkable by adding salt?
no ocean water can not be made drinkable by adding salt it would make it even more salty
Do people make ocean water drinkable by adding salt?
No.
It is impossible to use water from the ocean?
Ocean water needs to be processed first before it can be used. You can buy special filters that remove the salt from ocean water to make it drinkable. You can also distill ocean water to make it drinkable. Even some coastal cities with drought problems have spent millions of dollars making desalinization plants to supply their residents with tap water.
Does ocean water is made drinkable by adding salt?
no
Where is fresh drinkable water NOT found?
the ocean or sea
Is the water in the Atlantic ocean drinkable?
Yes but you wouldn't want to because too much can make you die.
Why is ocean water not good to drink?
Ocean water is not drinkable because the concentration of sodium chloride is very great.
Why can't ocean water be treted to make drinking water?
Ocean Water can be treated through the process of desallination which removes the salt and other contaminants. This process can make fresh water from ocean water, but the process of desallination is very expensive, and too arduous to rely on as a significant source of fresh, drinkable water.
What helps make polluted water drinkable?
Boil it
If salt is dissolved in water how can the water be described?
salty. if you mean ocean water that is now drinkable its called desalinized. It can be called saline water.
What percentage of ocean water is drinkable?
1%
How do they make the water from the river Nile drinkable?
the water from the nile isn't salt water
