Many places in the world need more fresh water than they already have. Every country is trying to find ways to turn salt water into fresh water.

In some places， the sun isn’t hot enough or does not shine every day. In such places， people get fresh water from the sea by heating the sea water. This way costs more money， but it works faster than the sun.

And heating isn’t the only way to get fresh water from salt water. People are trying some other ways. One way is to cool the sea water below zero. The fresh water will turn into ice first. Take the ice out. That’s the fresh water you want.

Which way is the best？ The one that produces the most fresh water with the lowest price. There may be a different way for each place.
