More than just desalination: City of Corpus Christi considering alternative water sources – Texas, USA

Where does the city stand with desalination?

The Evangeline project would consist of a pumping production system with 15 to 20 wells spread across the 23,000 acreage. It would also take a 42-inch or 64-inch diameter water pipeline — about 10 miles long if connected to the Mary Rhodes Pipeline and 20 miles long if not — to deliver water to the O.N. Stevens Water Treatment Plant.

The city is looking to build a secondary plant at La Quinta Channel. This facility would produce 40 million gallons a day and would […]

As historic drought rages, SLO County turns to desalination to help bring water to cities – San Luis Obispo, California, USA

That wastewater recycling plant is currently in the design phase and set to be in operation by 2025. It’ll likely provide 900 to 1,000 acre-feet per year of fresh water for Pismo Beach, Grover Beach, Arroyo Grande, Oceano and the county.

One way out of a drought? Technology that makes water potable – Santa Monica, California, USA

The city has great access to saline water.

…in 2016, Catalina invested in a second desalination plant, which turns saltwater into freshwater. Together the plants now process nearly 250,000 gallons of water per day, which is about 40% of the island’s drinking water.

THIS $4 DESALINATION DEVICE PROVIDES DRINKING WATER FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY- China

So far, the prototype system has worked in the lab for at least a week without accumulating salt. The next challenge is to scale it to something more practical, but…

Researchers at MIT and in China have improved the old-fashioned solar still with a new inexpensive device that harnesses the sun to remove salt from water.

The key to this new technique is black paint and polyurethane with 2.5-millimeter holes drilled in it. The idea is that warmer water above the insulating medium causes the salt to concentrate in the cooler water beneath […]

N$37M DESALINATION PLANT FOR BETHANIE – South Africa

The plant is set to produce 487 cubic meters of product water a day to meet the village’s demand until 2037.

A pilot desalination plant was inaugurated at Bethanie on Friday to improve and treat poor-quality groundwater, which deteriorates due to climate change.

Expert: Penang may need to look at desalinating seawater – Malaysia

Penang guzzles down 945 million litres a day. “Worldwide acceptance of desalination technologies have resulted in lowered costs to build and treat water at desalination plants.“

Penang has been trying to collaborate with Perak to jointly build a water treatment plant to supply water to Penang and northern Perak. In May, MPDT Capital Bhd announced its proposal to build a RM1bil desalination plant in Penang to produce 250 million litres per day (MLD) of potable water from seawater

“We are also in the middle of exploring possibilities to build a new treatment […]

Climate change means some coastal groundwater may soon be too salty to drink. What can cities do – Cape May, New Jersey, USA

Cape May solved its problem with desalination. Could the rest of the world follow suit?

The only feasible solution was desalination…. “We’re looking to really step it up …[with] the next plant … that’ll be sustainable for … the next 50 plus years,” Mendo said.

Plant operator Joe Mendo says 70 percent of the water that goes in comes out as fresh water. The other 30 percent is concentrated salt water that goes into a nearby creek, which, he said, is not harmful because it is far less salty than actual salt water. […]
