Abstract: A desalination pipeline system (10) including a first pipeline (12) extending from a salt water source (14) for transferring salt water therethrough. The system includes at least one saltwater desalinator (18) in fluid connection with the first pipeline (12), enabling salt water to be drawn from the first pipeline (12) to the at least one desalinator (18). Each of the salt water desalinators (18) is provided to desalinate at least part of the water drawn from the first pipeline (12). Each desalinator (18) is in fluid connection with a second pipeline (24) extending between the salt water source (14) and the target outlet (16), such that the water that has been desalinated in a desalinator (18) is transferred to the second pipeline (24).
