Facts

Facts

- Currently 1% of the world's drinking water is desalinated.

- Kuwait currently consumes 100% desalinated water only.

- Desalination in the US costs up to $1100 for 1200 cubic meters of water.

- Saudi Arabia leads desalination of water, with 17% of the world's global desalination output.

- Middle-East produces the world's most desalinated water.

- Energy is the single largest expense of desalination plants.

- The Sydney Desalination Plant cost approx. $2 billion to build.

Benefits

Benefits

- Most of the world's water is saltwater, so desalination has much scope in addressing the world's water needs.

- By 2025, 14% of the world will experience water scarcity, so desalination will definitely become a major change factor.

- It can reduce pressure on endangered water habitats by covering water needs.

Feelings

Creativity

Growth

- Increasing use of renewable energy can help in reducing the energy cost that goes into running a desalination plant.

- Privatizing the venture can be a solution in some countries if it is tightly monitored and regulated.

- Global funding initiatives can be taken by developed countries and individuals to support such projects in less-developed countries where it is a necessity.

Cautions

Judge

- High Cost: A desalination plant can cost a minimum of $390 million depending upon the location and can go up to $2.9 billion in building cost only.

- Desalination plants consume high amounts of energy to carry out the desalination process.

- Disposing the salt and other minerals from the process can change the level in the area and affect wildlife.

Process

Structure

- Reverse Osmosis

- Saltwater is first treated to remove large particles.

- Then under high temperature and pressure, the salt and smaller minerals are removed from the water by passing it through a membrane and sent back to the sea.

- Finally, the remaining water is treated to make bring it to the level it can be drunk.

- The process requires high energy to complete the treatment.

GROWTH

Growth

• Water wastage needs to be controlled and it will be done when each and every citizen will take responsibility of reducing wastage. 15 countries are accountable for 80% of population exposed to rivers.
• 30% of Earth's fresh water lies deep underground. 54% of India's wells are decreasing. With proper infrastructure and installation can sanitize water.

Caution

Separating rainwater from the sewer system – To improve water management and protect the sewer system from damage, cities are beginning to revamp their underground pipe and drainage systems – by separating rainwater from the sewer system. The separation enables the waste water treatment plant to function properly, without it being overburdened by large quantities of storm water.
