Desalination is the process of taking salt out of sea water so people can use it. You will see it in news about drought, island life, and the cost of fresh water — the machines need a lot of energy, so the water is not cheap. It is a formal, technical noun. The action is to ; the factory is often called a desalination plant. Though actually, everyday speakers may just say they take the salt out of sea water and never use this word at all. When it appears, it is doing serious work, not kitchen talk.
