Coasts water processes

Sea water is an inexhaustible source of salt one litre contains on the average 35 g of various salts of which approximately 27 g is sodium chloride. Sea water salt is obtained primarily in countries with a hot, dry climate and is a result of solar evaporation in the so called salt fields, i. e. on the coast of France, Italy, Dalmatia, Spain, Portugal, USA and Japan. A less common method of sea water processing is artificial evaporation as in Normandy or winterization as in the USA. 

For the fifth plant, a freezing process will be utilized. This plant will be located at a yet to be selected site on the East Coast. It will be designed to produce fresh water in the range of 150,000 to 350,000 gallons per day. The site will be selected this fall, but construction is not contemplated before the fiscal year 1962.
