It's salt, so sodium-cloride, if you want to seperate them you have to make them react with other chemicals, which is costly on this scale, throwing it back into the ocean is not as bad as it seems, you just need to distribute it a little and the effects are minimal, the water just becomes part of the natural water cycle again, humans don't consume that much water, the main issue is energy costs, right now it's cheaper to fight over water supplies than it is to invest in desalination plants and the nations most effected don't have the grid of funds to set up such plants, it would have to be paid for by richer western nations in exchange for something because nothing is for free and those plants need to be maintained.
One possible solution is offering to hold refugees and halt illigale flow of migrants in exchange for such desalination plants and it's energy needs.
