Seventy percent of the Earth’s surface is covered with water… and the vast majority of it is useless for consumption or agriculture. 

This problem has been known for thousands of years, and for thousands of years, humans have recognized that it is possible to turn seawater into drinking water; it was just difficult to do so.

In the last few decades, however, the ability to get clean drinking water from the sea has gotten easier and might get even easier still.

Learn more about desalination, how it works, and how it has evolved on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
