Desalination is the primary topic of my research. By understanding what desalination is, I can understand why it has been deemed unviable and see if there are any solutions for it.

Evaluate the article
The article overall is extremely thorough. The beginning portion of the article gives a quick basic rundown of what desalination is. All facts, and no opinions present. It is all very clear and up to date. I am impressed by the amount of detail of the content. It covers a significant number of the different processes associated with desalination and even explores even more than that. I was impressed it includes some cost analysis and some information about the public attitude on it. There are plenty of sources to back all of this information up, with many being written within the last few years, so it is very current. Examining the talk page, most of the discussion took place over a decade ago. There were some updates to citations and wording in the past few years, but relatively little. I think this goes to show that this page has been thoroughly looked over by other wikipedians and it is a well written article.
