n. A process in which salt is removed from a material; desalination

"The connection between Poseidon's desalting schemeand the San Diego Waiver allowing them to avoid secondary treatment standards for sewage is that since San Diego need not recycle its sewage water, its bribed pols and others have a better argument for borrowing loads of money ($535 million in tax-free bonds) and spending it on a desalting plant that is completely DOA."
