Desalination

Desalination of water is worthwhile where fresh water is expensive.

It was the world's first solar-powered desalination plant.

Algiers has a desalination plant.

Central Valley produces half of all fruits and vegetables in the U.S., but requires massive irrigation, some of which requires desalination.

Algeria needs to build more desalination plants.

Researchers at the University of Manchester in England say they’ve successfully used graphene-oxide membranes to filter common salts from seawater, turning it into drinking water more affordably than current desalination techniques.

Desalination is often seen as an expensive and energy-intensive way to remove salt from water.

One of the projects that researchers in Sydney are pursuing is improving the membranes used in pre-treatment systems in desalination plants.
