How can one effectively remove salt from water?

One can effectively remove salt from water through a process called desalination, which involves either distillation or reverse osmosis. Distillation involves heating the water to create steam, which is then condensed back into liquid form, leaving the salt behind. Reverse osmosis uses a membrane to filter out the salt molecules, allowing only pure water to pass through. Both methods require specialized equipment and are commonly used in desalination plants to provide fresh water from seawater.
