- Solution For Water-Stresses Regions
- Many areas across the globe use water desalination as a primary source of fresh potable water.
-Such areas include the Middle East, (mainly Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Bahrain) and North Africa (Libya and Algeria)
-Caribbean islands get almost all of their drinking water through desalination plants
-Saudi Arabia gets 70 percent of its fresh water via the process
2. Provides Accessible Drinking Water
2. Provides Accessible Drinking Water
-Water desalination plants can provide drinking water in areas where no natural supply of potable water exists.
-With 96 percent of the world’s water being salt water, reverse osmosis filtration is an effective means to get around the natural limits of freshwater availability.
3. High Quality of Water and Habitat Protection
3. High Quality of Water and Habitat Protection
Desalinated water generally meets or exceeds standards for water quality.
-Water desalination plants can also reduce pressure on freshwater supplies that come from areas that need protecting.
-This preserves current fresh water supplies that may be habitats for endangered species.
4. Independent of changing factors
4. Independent of changing factors
-Unlike other solutions that heavily rely on uncontrollable factors like rain or snowfall
-Seawater desalination systems do not rely on anything other than the ocean or seawater.
