First, what is seawater, can it be used as water supply?

Streams, rivers, lakes, wetlands,

reservoirs, creeks and ocean, despite of being salty it is considered as surface water. Since
surface water is more effectively available than groundwater, it is depended on for some human
employments. It is a significant wellspring of drinking water and is utilized for the water system
of farmland. According to Alyn Duxbury (2020), seawater is the water that makes up the ocean
and seas, it covers more than 70 percent of the Earth’s surface. It is a mixture id 96.5 percent
water, 2.5 percent of salt, and other smaller substances. Seawater used as water supply but not as
drinking water. But in the other hand, water from the ocean, when desalted, can outfit a
boundless gracefully of drinking water. In our lecture seawater is stated as one of the sources of
water but it has associated issue. Like what stated above the sea water is composed of water, salt
and other smaller substances can harm as, humans. Seawater additionally contains different
disintegrated barometrical gases, primarily nitrogen, oxygen, argon, and carbon dioxide. It is
stated that it energy intensive to desalinate. Desalinating nowadays is kind a expensive, it may
cost much. Desalination can happen by distillation, reverse osmosis, electrodialysis, and ion-
exchange.
