Water Desalination

Desalination has many benefits as well as flaws. It provides clean water for  people, but in the process of converting sea water to drinkable water, produces a toxic brine that is sent back into the ocean where it hurts marine life. Energy is also a concern since desalination uses 15,000 kilowatt hours to treat 1 million gallon of sea water.
