'''Salination''' is the process through which [[fresh]] ([[potable water]]) [[water]] becomes [[salt]] (unpotable) [[water]]; hence, desalination is the reverse process; also involves the accumulation of salts in topsoil caused by evaporation of excessive irrigation water, a process that can eventually render [[soil]] incapable of supporting crops.
This subject was used to great comic effect in the movie ''[[Idiocracy]]''.
