Poseidon’s Huntington Beach desalination plant still in choppy waters – California As Poseidon Water pursues the final government approvals needed to build one of the country’s biggest seawater desalination plants. The company still cannot definitively say who will buy the 50 million gallons a day of drinking water it wants to produce on the Orange County coast. That’s one of several questions that continue to dog the $1-billion Huntington Beach project as Poseidon tries to seal an iron-clad deal more than two decades after it first proposed the ocean desalter.

UA developing efficient system to purify waste water – Arizona Using a grant of $500,000, the team of researchers is developing a solar-powered desalination system that combines several types of technologies to recover water from these concentrated waste streams. The grant comes from the Department of Energy’s Rapid Advancement in Process Intensification Deployment. The process uses less energy at a lower cost, and it could provide more water for resource-scarce inland regions such as Arizona. (LINK).

Santa Barbara Council Accepts $10 Million Matching Grant to Operate Desalination Plant – California The Santa Barbara City Council voted 7-0 on Tuesday to accept a $10 million grant — with the understanding that it will run the plant at full capacity for at least 36 out of the next 40 years. Some environmentalists objected to the council’s decision, citing environmental concerns. The city was awarded a $10 million matching grant in 2018 from the California Department of Water Resources for the reactivation of the Charles E. Meyer Desalination Plant, 525 E. Yanonali St. (LINK). Santa Barbara Council Accepts $10 Million Matching Grant to Operate Desalination Plant – CaliforniaDME GmbH2020-08-05T13:21:43+02:00
ECU researchers receive $1.4 million grant to develop desalination system – United States Converting seawater into clean water will be the focus of a team from East Carolina University, thanks to a grant through the University of North Carolina’s Research Opportunities Initiative. The $1.4 million grant will go toward the development of a no-waste, sustainable water desalination system. It is the first time that an ECU-led team has received an ROI grant since the program began in 2014-15. Kura Duba, assistant professor in the Department of Engineering and the principal investigator for the grant, said “It is a very prestigious award and […] ECU researchers receive $1.4 million grant to develop desalination system – United StatesDME GmbH2020-08-04T15:02:00+02:00

Infrastructure investments protect community’s water supply – Colorado Smart investments can help communities weather tough times, so when drought conditions hit the Colorado River Basin in 2000, the Las Vegas Valley Water District (LVVWD) joined local water agencies to invest in forward-thinking plans and programs to protect Southern Nevada’s water supply. Engineering a deep-water solution, the Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) and its member agencies, including the LVVWD, initiated the engineering design and construction of a 24-foot diameter intake tunnel and Low Lake Level Pumping Station to ensure 2.2 million Southern Nevadans maintained access to their drinking water.

Auckland drought: Why floating desalination plants got the thumbs down – New Zealand One or even two huge floating desalination plants, to turn seawater into fresh water, were briefly considered as solutions to Auckland’s drought-driven water shortage. Each of the barges could have supplied 6 per cent of Auckland’s water needs, from a location on Manukau Harbour, but would have come with a big financial and environmental cost. The desalination barge idea was canvassed in a confidential report to the June meeting of the board of Auckland Council subsidiary Watercare, obtained by Stuff. (LINK).

Creeping salt water forces Cape May City to consider more desalination – New Jersey Salt water is continuing to creep into private wells and some deep aquifers on the Cape May peninsula, forcing some homeowners to consider other sources of drinking water. Prompting Cape May City to plan a sharp increase in capacity for a plant that desalinates sea water, state and local officials said. Although salinity levels in about two dozen “sentinel” wells — those designed to provide an early warning of salt water intrusion — are still below limits set by the state Department of Environmental Protection, coastal communities are being […] Creeping salt water forces Cape May City to consider more desalination – New JerseyDME GmbH2020-07-31T11:48:26+02:00
