Because seawater is salty due to the presence of dissolved salts in large quantities in the form of magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium, chloride, bromide, fluoride, and sulfate ions. The amount of total dissolved solids in seawater is around 35,000 mg/liter, and water for human consumption must have a maximum of 1,000 mg/liter according to the WHO.
