Desalination is a process of water treatment whereby salts are removed from saline water to produce pure potable water. This process utilize high amount of energy in producing pure water from saline water source. Desalination has many negative impacts on the environment. During the process, there is discharge of pollutants such as gases from energy consumption, and there is release of waste brine which contains high salt concentration, and toxic chemicals into the environment. These pollutants influence the seawater turbidity, temperature, salinity, and water current by increasing them, and are also dangerous to marine life.
