Why is desalination so difficult? An overview of seawater desalination: Removing salt to make drinkable water from the ocean.

I watched his video early this morning, I love watching Practical Engineering since I always get such a deep appreciation for the way the world around me was built.

He's an excellent communicator, and I appreciate the way he explains things and demonstrates them clearly.

This video in particular brought up a lot of interesting things I had been thinking about by coincidence recently - I'm not unfamiliar with drought but it hasn't always been common in areas I've lived. In my last few visits to coastal areas, I was shocked to find out how uncommon desalination was - I had always just assumed they did that all the time since the ocean provides so much already.

I'm definitely interested in learning more about the future of desalination because I don't think we can expect a future without it as climate change dramatically shifts weather patterns.
