      Yes this is possible.. a process called distillation can allow you to purify fresh water from salt water by removing the salts.

      yes! By a process called desalination, it “sucks out” salt from water, you can learn about it if you discuss with your teacher the phenomenon of “osmosis”.

      Yes, there are a few ways and it is actually done in some countries where they don’t have many rain or water reservoirs. The usual way is by osmosis, that is like weird filters that get the same out of the water.
