Arizona: Desalination without a Coastline? – USA
 In Israel, for example, five massive desalination plants on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea produce nearly a half-million acre feet of fresh water per year, an amount the nation plans to double by 2030. Israelâs Sorek Desalination Plant, located a few miles south of Tel Aviv, produces 185,000 acre feet of fresh water per year, from a highly automated operation that occupies only about 25 acres. Approximately 80 percent of Israelâs municipal water comes from desalination, and this nation of 9 million people is now exporting surplus water to Jordan.

«The hots are getting a lot hotter, the dries are getting a lot drier and ⊠the wets are getting wetter,» Governor Gavin Newsom said on Thursday at a desalination plant under construction in Antioch, 72 kilometres inland from San Francisco, that will turn brackish water [âŠ]
Polish nanotechnology scientists say it may soon be possible to obtain drinking water from sea water without using a power supply – Gdansk, Poland
Called NanoseenX, the teamâs design consists of a cascade of membranes that filter out different impurities, including salt. According to the company, within two minutes you can get 200 ml of water, from which 97 percent of salt is removed.
The NanoseenX solution also has a mineralisation and salinity control, making it possible to remove over 99.9 percent of salt. The device works without a power supply â water flows through the filters due to gravity. The filter can be placed anywhere, for example on a beach or ship.

Desalination plant site flagged at Sleaford Bay’s west for Eyre Peninsula water supply – South Australia
Private land between Fishery Bay and Sleaford Bay has been chosen as the site for a 5.3-gigalitre desalination plant that will supply water to Eyre Peninsula, South Australia.
SA Water first identified three sites in the Sleaford Bay area for a desalination plant for Eyre Peninsula in 2009.
âThe new site at Sleaford West will now be considered by the minister and SA Water, who will ultimately make the final decision on the location of the plant within the next few months.â
Desalination plant construction underway in Antioch as drought worsens – California, USA
The new facility, located at the cityâs wastewater treatment plant, will use large reverse-osmosis filters to create 6 million gallons of fresh water per dayâabout a third of the cityâs needsâbut with room for expansion.
