Why Can't We Drink Seawater?

Drinking water from the ocean might seem tempting with all that water around, but there's a
big problem – it's salty, really, really salty! Ocean water contains about 35 grams of salt per liter, and our bodies can't handle that much salt. When we drink salty water, it actually dehydrates us because our kidneys have to work overtime to filter out the excess salt. Desalination, a process to remove salt from seawater, is used in some places to make it drinkable, but it's expensive and energy-intensive. Plus, the leftover salty brine can harm marine ecosystems when released back into the ocean.

Desalinization is indeed a really large scale process, which would not be practically possible on a global scale.

[josefszentjobi]

A cheaper method of desalination is to build large dome like structures with salt water in the central pool & fresh water collectors around the edge, leting the Sun vaporizer the water from the salt. Yes this process maybe slower, but pretty much hands free. Until it's time to remove the excess salt from the salt water pool.

I get smarter by 0.1% because of this guy I currently forget this after a few days😂

It's funny that the very thing that gives us life is undrinkable in its pure form..well, most of it.

That's why Earth is called the Blue Planet 🌍

Everytime I watch one of bright side Vedio I learned something new an interesting

Correct capitalisation for the first word of the subtitles please, great video though

I predict that desalination will be cheaper and more practical after we get commercial nuclear fusion power stations.

Bright Side how you a lone so bright😂

[anolaawad]

i think because the sea is the life in the world end

[stephenselvan]

The sea water is salty... What if we just add some sugar in it??? 🤔🤔
