desalinated water
Salt-removed ocean liquid
Desalinated water is water that has had its salt removed, typically seawater or brackish water processed to make it drinkable or usable for irrigation.
The process—desalination—uses methods like reverse osmosis or distillation: The coastal city relies on desalinated water during droughts.
Also called desalted water.
