The video explains that while 71% of Earth is covered in water, only 2% is pure. It discusses osmosis, the process by which cells absorb water, and the effects of drinking seawater, which can lead to dehydration. Conversely, drinking too much pure water can cause cells to swell and burst. The video suggests distillation as a method to obtain fresh water from seawater, which involves heating seawater to evaporate and then condensing the vapor back into liquid.
