Curaçao obtains fresh water primarily through desalination, a process that removes salt from seawater. The island has several desalination plants that convert seawater into potable water to meet its needs. Additionally, rainwater harvesting is practiced, where rainwater is collected and stored for use, although this source is limited due to the island's arid climate. Together, these methods ensure a reliable supply of fresh water for the population and tourism.

It is called desalinization or desalination.
How did Cyano Bacteria obtain energy?

How do sea mammals survive without fresh water?
Sea mammals cannot survive without fresh water, but they do not have to drink fresh water in order to obtain it. They get much of their water through the food they eat and through their own bodies which remove the salts from sea water and the water in their food.
What body off water is Curacao located in?
The Caribbean Sea
What is salt removed from seawater to obtain fresh water?

Which methods can be used to obtain fresh water from seawater?
The process of converting salt water to fresh water is called desalination and there is a lot of information on the subject. Mother nature turns salt water into fresh water everyday by evaporation of water from the oceans. Clouds, with water vapor, water droplets and ice crystals form from evaporation. Then, it rains or snows nearly pure water/ice. When humans artificially create pure water, the water is typically heated to drive the pure water off as water vapor and leave the salts behind. In chemistry, heating a liquid to vaporize it so that it condenses in a purer form is a process is called "distillation". Another process, more specifically for water, is reverse osmosis filtration through a series of differentially permeable membranes allowing pure water to pass while trapping salts and other impurities. When any process is used to remove salts from seawater, the process is called desalination.
Are the great lakes salt or fresh water?
the Great Lakes are fresh water.( the largest fresh water lakes in the world.)
If you are stranded in a survival raft and you need fresh water how would you get fresh water from salt water?
To obtain fresh water from salt water while stranded in a survival raft, you can use a simple distillation method. Create a makeshift solar still by placing a container to catch evaporated water and covering it with a clear plastic sheet, ensuring it slopes toward a collection point. As the sun heats the salt water, it will evaporate, condense on the underside of the plastic, and drip into the container, yielding fresh water. Alternatively, if you have a cooking pot, you can boil the salt water and collect the steam in a separate container, which will also provide fresh water.
