Topic: Salt water

I am constructing a house in Chennai, pallikaranai.

The ground water in this area is very salty if we go for a borewell beyond 30 feet. So I was advised by nearby neighbors to dig a well. As per that I dug a well up to 21 feet. The water is comparatively less salty.

1.       Apart from rain water harvesting, kindly suggest me what are all the steps I should do to improve the quality of water in the well.

2.       If I plan for a small water treatment plant for the well water, kindly advise what are the steps I should do and what type of treatment method I should adopt. (suggest on cost basis also).

3. Any other

Salt water used for making or preserving food, is usually saltier than sea water and is called brine. Drinking sea water alone is dangerous. A summary of 163 life raft voyages showed the risk of death at 39% for those who drank seawater, compared to 3% for those who did not. Experiments on rats showed the danger.
they usually say they are testing the salinity of the water: salinity is measured in parts per thousand or ppt. Most sea water is about 35 ppt salt. Salt lakes can be up to ten times as salty. Above that level precipitation creates a salt plain.
Salt water is more dense than fresh water. This means that it has more matter per its volume. Fresh water has a density of 1 g/ml, while salty seawater has an average density of about 1.025 g/ml.
