Most of global water contains salt

The world only disposes 5% fresh water, 95% is sea water, rich of salt. Salt water cannot be used directly by plants and. They need fresh water for their survival. In regions where desalinated water is the main water source, activities like e.g. agriculture that utilises about 70% of global fresh water today, cannot be overcome with desalinated water. In such a case reuse of wastewater can be another option.
