Reverse osmosis is one of the processes that makes desalination (or removing salt from seawater) possible. Beyond that, reverse osmosis is used for recycling, wastewater treatment, and can even produce energy.
The solution is desalination, a process that removes salt from seawater to make it drinkable, either using a boiling technique called multistage flash or a filtration method known as reverse osmosis. Multi-stage flash uses the same principle as a solar still: as water boils, pure vapour evaporates, leaving salt crystals behind.
