Desalination plants are able to produce potable water out of salt water from the ocean and other sources. The biggest desalination plant in the world is located in Ras Al-Khair, Saudi Arabia and produces up to 1 million cubic meters of water every day. The energy required to power desalination plants has a very low carbon footprint compared to other sources of freshwater.
