What is desalinated water?
Desalination is a technology that separates dissolved salts and other minerals from seawater or other salty water to provide clean drinking water. Modern desalination plants use a process called reverse osmosis, which involves the removal of salts and other minerals out of the water as it moves through a membrane process (moving through many thin sheets of material) under high pressure. Desalinated water is often used to supplement drinking water supplies in many countries, including some Australian cities and towns.
