Detailed explanation-1: -Most forms of desalination are energy-intensive. Desalination has the potential to increase fossil fuel dependence, increase greenhouse gas emissions, and exacerbate climate change if renewable energy sources are not used for freshwater production. Desalination surface water intakes are a huge threat to marine life.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are a few big challenges. Pulling saltwater into desalination plants can hurt fish and other marine life if it isn’t done carefully. Then there’s the energy needed to clean up the water, and the brackish, salty waste that is left after the clean water is filtered out.
Detailed explanation-3: -Which of the following method is not used for desalination? Explanation: Coagulation is not used for desalination.
Detailed explanation-4: -What is its salinity value? Desalination-the process of making freshwater from saltwater-actually has no effect on the pH of the oceans, even though more salty water is returned to the ocean.
