Desalination takes a certain kind of water, called brackish water, to work. Brackish water has a higher saline content than fresh water, but less than sea water.

Desalination is the process of extracting salt from saline water to make it drinkable. There are two main types of desalination. In the first–called thermal desalination–heat is used.
