Some birds are able to consume salty or brackish water because they do not produce urine, which requires a lot of water. Instead their waste is excreted as uric acid. This conserves water and allows the concentrated removal of salts.
Humans can also consume salty or brackish water, and excrete the salts. However this requires the intake of fresh water or dehydration would result during excretion.

Some birds are able to drink salt water and suffer no ill effects. Some excrete their wastes not as urine, but as uric acid (thereby losing less water). Others have glands near their eyes that excrete the excess salt. So, no. Birds cannot convert salt water to fresh water, but some have adapted to be able to drink salt water.

it isn't on your price range to desalinize water as a thanks to apply it to irrigate vegetation. except you've a cheap source of ability to boil the water so as that the vapor might want to be condensed and used, you would possibly want to ought to discover yet another source of water. right it really is a key question: what's the salinity of the water? I ask because in arid and semi-arid areas, the irrigation water would have a low adequate salinity for use through vegetation, even with the undeniable fact that the soil itself has change into saline from the repeated use of slightly saline water over the years. Salts are further with the irrigation water. The water both evaporates or is taken up through flowers, leaving the salts in the soil. If it really is your problem, it would want to be fastened. First, discover out what sorts of salts are in the soil. in the journey that they are low in sodium (a saline soil), all you want to do is flood the field and leach the salts from the muse zone each few years. in the journey that they are extreme in sodium (a saline-sodic soil), you ought to first replace the sodium in the soil with yet another cation, it quite is maximum typically Ca (calcium) presented as CaCl2 or CaSO4 (gypsum). artwork that into the field for some days or maybe weeks, and then flood the field. (you want the sodium out, or it is going to create soil structure issues.) carry out slightly cyber web searches on irrigation and saline and sodic soils. those links might want to help.
