The problem is that the desalination of water lacks a lot of energy. Salt deliquesce very easily in water, construct strong chemical bonds, and those bonds are hard to break. Strength and the technology to desalinate water are both extravagant, and this means that desalinating water can be expensive. The "simple “difficulty that must be overthrown to turn seawater into freshwater is to take out the dissolved salt in seawater. That may seem as easy as just scalding some seawater in a pan, apprehending the steam and condensing it back into water (distillation).
