(NaturalSociety.com) The process of making sea water potable, water desalinization has been a significant point of research for years in order to purify water. While there have been new technologies that aim at making sea water drinkable, many of our oceans, lakes, and rivers have become highly contaminated due to pesticide and industrial fertilizer ground water penetration, and run-off, as well as contaminated from petro chemicals and other corporate industry polluters. Luckily, researchers at Massachusetts Technology Institute (MIT) just might have a solution to this problem.

Though fresh water availability is dwindling in many parts of the world, a promising source of potable water are the practically limitless seas – that is if they are clean enough to desalinize.
MIT scientists have created sheets of graphene, a one-atom-thick form of the element carbon, which they say can be far more efficient and possibly less expensive than existing desalination systems. If they can take salt out of water, they just might be able to take glyphosate, GMO pesticides, neonics, and other unsavory chemicals out of our waterways, too.
