Desalinizarea este un ansamblu de procese de separare a sărurilor din apa cu o salinitate nenulă. Este un proces necesar in zonele unde nu e disponibilă apă dulce.
Desalinizarea se poate efectua prin distilare, osmoză inversă sau electrodializă inversă.
În anul 2011, metrul cub de apă desalinizată costa 0,53 de dolari.Goana după resurse, 25 septembrie 2011, Mariana Bechir, Adevărul, accesat la 5 mai 2012
