- ChuckMcM 12y agoWell depending on rate it can be a pollutant or not. Most desalinating plants have a mixing pond where the mix fresh seawater with partially desalinated water (which has a higher salt content) to produce an effluent that is saltier than the unprocessed water but not so salty that it causes issues. That same mixing could, in theory, be done by ocean currents if the water motion was enough.
