Apart from reducing water usage, desalination of saltwater using renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, or wave energy can be used to create drinking water and save lives.
This can be done in many different ways. This article explains how water can be desalinated for drinking purposes using mechanical, thermal, electrical, or chemical energy:
