A process is provided for purifying salt-containing water into desired form, wherein a salt-containing water stream is mixed with hydrogen and then pumped into an electrochemical cell where hydrogen is ionized into protons. These protons migrating to the counter-electrode, under the influence of an applied potential, entrain liquid water. At the counter-electrode, protons recombine to form hydrogen while releasing liquid water. Hydrogen is recycled and participates into the process only as a vehicle for the transport of water. This process is particularly applicable to the purification of water with high salt content such as sea water.
