desalinated
Made drinkable, seawater
Desalinated describes water that has had its salt removed, making seawater or brackish water drinkable or suitable for irrigation.
The process typically involves reverse osmosis or distillation.
The desalinated water tasted flat compared to spring water.
Coastal cities increasingly rely on desalinated seawater during droughts.
