A Solution for the excessive salt from desalination plants is to mix with the waste water to rectify the low salinity of the waste water and deal with the excess salt from the plant.

What waste water do you mean? Do you mean treated sewage? This makes sense if there is a lot of sewage being released into the sea. To the best of my knowledge, the excess salt is in water that has had a percentage of the water removed. The higher salt content water is then dumped back into the sea. It would certainly seem easy to just have treated sewage and the high-salt water from the plant poured out together from the same pipe. For all I know, they already do this.
However, there will tend to be less fresh sewage water than high-salt water. After all, the fresh sewer water originally came from the desalination plant, but not all of the fresh water will return as sewage. Unless they get a fair amount of rain, but countries that rely on desalination often have little rain.
