Description
Summary:	Remedies to the problem of water scarcity are growing more and more significant, including desalination (DS) and the softening of ground, brackish, and ocean water. Brackish water DS and softening of water are regarded as an essential strategic option to meet the rising drinking water demand as an alternate to the supply of clean water. For the DS and softening of saltwater, a variety of methods are used nowadays. The most commonly employed methods for producing clean drinking water from different water sources include membrane-based methods such as reverse osmosis and nanofiltration, electrochemically-driven methods such as electrodeionization (EDI) and electrodialysis, thermally-driven methods such as membrane distillation and solar distillation, and other processes such as ion exchange and adsorption. The hybrid EDI method for brackish water DS and water softening (WS) has proven to be very effective. It also has significant environmental benefits, such as the replacement of hazardous chemicals with electricity, a membrane that lasts longer than any other membrane technique, and the production of extremely pure water. This chapter's goal was to examine the various methods used in DS and WS and its applications. Additionally, new developments in EDI's use in DS and WS have been investigated. In comparison with other methods, EDI outperforms in terms of both economic and regard for the environment.
