Higher price issues occur as price of water made by desalination is much higher than other traditional water supply.
Quality of water is affected as certain organism present in water cannot be removed solely based on one process.
Waste disposal can pollute the sea as chemicals used for treatment are often not properly disposed.
Therefore, desalination techniques may not be efficient.

Water soluble vitamins are polar while fat soluble vitamins are non polar. This is because water is polar and if something is water soluble then it is polar too since they interact with water molecules. Fat soluble would not be polar, for example oil does not dissolve in water.

a. Consume less electricity
b. Reduce vehicle emissions of NOx
c. Use less electricity consumption
d. Use less electricity consumption
e. Use less transport and reduce transport emission of NOx and SO2.
Electricity are generated from coal using power plants, hence, reduced consumption will lead to a reduced need for these plants.
