Salt. A ton of seawater will be driven inland and mix with the fresh. Salt requires boiling off and condensing, a significantly more intensive project.

Since you seem to have pondered and maybe tested it...

Is it doable to drink boiled sea water (salt remove by distillation) for years ?

Or do you go kidney breakdown for some reason like, idk, the stuff being too pure or some shit ?

...

Edit: Never mind, reading the post below

Distilling water involves boiling the water, capturing the steam and condensing that steam into another container which will be the clean water. Then you dump the bad stuff left in the boiler with the concentrated crap out. But it takes immense amounts of energy to boil water, plus if you boil it too fast you might splash droplets of contaminated water into the condenser.
