ScienceDaily (Mar. 23, 2010) — A new approach to desalination being developed by researchers at MIT and in Korea could lead to small, portable desalination units that could be powered by solar cells or batteries and could deliver enough fresh water to supply the needs of a family or small village. As an added bonus, the system would also remove many contaminants, viruses and bacteria at the same time.

This is what I call very positive useful cutting edge science. I've long been a proponent of solar powered desalinization but this small portable application may be a huge breakthrough.
