The author have mentioned that water with more than 1-2 promille of salt is considered not drinkable. But I have a bottle of carbonated mineral water from the mountains and the label says it contains 6-9 g of salts per 1 liter. So I guess it depends on which salt it is.
Also, the author mentions that people in US use 1100 liters per day (which is too much in my opinion), but not all this water needs to be drinkable, one probably can not drink more than 3-4 liters per day, and the rest of the water can be salty.

- reyoz 3y agoHaving a diversity of water supplies and using water fit for purpose reduces demand for drinking water. Toilet flushing, irrigation and even washing machines do not need high quality drinking water. I have 5,000L of rainwater storage that I use for toilet flushing and irrigation. Combined with a water efficient shower head (typically the largest domestic water use in my country) we use 100 L/d/person. In some areas of my city there is dual supply plumbing that delivers highly treated wastewater for these uses.
