Desalination is solution to Durban’s ’abysmal’ water infrastructure – South Africa

He was speaking ahead of World Water Day, which takes place on Tuesday.

“I cannot see the future without desalination on a huge scale,” said Turton.

“All the coastal cities, from Richards Bay to Cape Town, are fundamentally water constrained and will not be able to get their water from their rivers. It is sucked up by inland water users.”

Where Rising Seas Threaten Drinking Water, Scientists Look for Affordable Solutions- Pennsylvania-USA

Rising oceans bring more than high tides and nuisance flooding to coastal zones. They also carry salt water into inland aquifers where dissolved salts can spoil drinking water.

A new research effort at the University of Pennsylvania aims to identify vulnerable water systems along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts where rising seas pose water quality risks and develop strategies that can make utilities more resilient to saltwater intrusion.

“I think […]
