The competition for desalination is currently underway. A mere decade ago, nations within the Maghreb region and, rather unexpectedly, European countries, were fortunate enough to evade humanity's primary adversary: drought. However, the unpredictable nature of climate change has since altered this reality. Consequently, an increasing number of countries are contemplating the serious prospect of utilizing desalination to fulfill their potable water requirements from the seas and oceans bordering their coastlines. Regrettably, research and experience have indicated that highly saline water presents a significant threat to marine ecosystems. This scholarly investigation aims to contribute to the discovery of a solution that will enable the continuation of seawater desalination without inflicting harm on the marine flora and fauna, and this work can be considered as a prototype that need to be studied closely, because the results are here and undeniable, plus this is all what we going to need more and more in near future, namely water and energy.
