Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Electrodialysis. It consists of moving the salt water through electrically charged membranes that trap the salt ions dissolved in the water, allowing fresh water to be extracted.

Detailed explanation-2: -Reverse osmosis is an effective means to desalinate saline water, but it is more expensive than other methods. As prices come down in the future the use of reverse osmosis plants to desalinate large amounts of saline water should become more common.

Detailed explanation-3: -Advances in membrane technology have made desalination of seawater and brackish waters an increasingly viable alternative to produce safe drinking-water.
