Brownsville Mayor John Cowen says he had a very positive meeting with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation officials when they came to the city.
Cowen is hoping to secure millions of additional federal dollars from the agency for Brownsville’s desalination plant.
Seen as a drought-proof alternative to dwindling freshwater supplies, desalination removes salt from seawater and makes it ready for consumption, but the process has significant drawbacks.
Technological improvements are making desalination cheaper and more sustainable. However, before turning to desalination, we need to protect and restore the water cycle and ensure that it is used efficiently by encouraging reuse, reducing water leakages and cutting abstractions, among other things.
The fast-track desalination plant project is expected to be completed in 12 months.
Enowa, the utility arm of Saudi Arabia’s ambitious Neom project, has announced an extension to the bid deadline for a significant new desalination plant contract, reports MEED. Initially set for 22 May, the deadline has now been pushed to the end of September, according to industry sources.
For the last several years, the Port of Corpus Christi has been laying the groundwork to bring a seawater desalination facility to Harbor Island. However, they don’t intend to own it.

Capacitive Deionization (CDI) is an emerging, eco-friendly desalination technology gaining momentum. This review covers key topics in CDI, including electrode materials, cell architectures, selective ion removal, energy consumption, and salinity ranges. Key improvements include optimizing carbon materials with surface functional groups, heteroatom doping, and metal oxide modifications. The use of Faradaic materials has significantly increased CDI’s desalination capacity. Innovations in cell architecture from static to flow electrodes allow for continuous production, boosting energy efficiency and expanding CDI’s salinity range. Future research should focus on ion-selective mechanisms, electrode stability, hydraulic design, and economic and environmental assessments to enhance scalability […]
Shortly after the California Coastal Commission’s stunning rejection of Poseidon Water’s $1.4 billion ocean desalination plant proposal for Huntington Beach, Poseidon’s long—time VP of development, Scott Maloni, quipped on Facebook about the “unjust decision,” which put an end to big ocean desal in California for the foreseeable future.
CAIRO – 29 April 2024: Egypt plans to tender bids for the establishment of four desalination plants at a total cost of $350 million, with some near Ras El Hikma by mid-July, according to Atter Hanoura, head of the Public-Private Partnership Unit at the Egyptian Ministry of Finance.
Hanoura added that 17 consortia have qualified for the tender since nearly a year ago, and they will be notified to obtain the tender documents.
“We need to talk with a consultant about the desalination project. First, we need to understand why we did not get a response for the global tender and then we can decide on the next move,”
