One of the major concerns about seawater desalination is its high expense. Another concern is the disposal of leftover brine from the desalination process back into the ocean, which harms marine life. Discuss whether these two concerns are enough to prohibit the widespread use of desalination as a source of drinking water.

Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, these two concerns are enough to prohibit the use of desalination as a source of drinking water because this method is too expensive as well as bad for the marine environment. First, this desalination process is too expensive which is non-economical for the country while on the other hand, it greatly damaged the aquatic animals so this method must be stopped due to its adverse effect on both economics as well as environment.
