Like California and South Africa, isn’t the principle of water distillation relatively easy? evaporating from one end and cooling it from the other so that it becomes liquid again, leaving all the salt and pollutants behind.

It’s NOT distillation, it is DESALINATION which is VERY different.

It is an expensive, energy intensive process.
