Cape May hopes state, federal grants will help fund a new desalination plant – New Jersey In a century-old building at the end of Canning House Lane, a reverse osmosis system has the capacity to treat more than 1,000 gallons of water a minute. Itâs not enough. The solution could be a $35 million new facility. Much of the drinking water for Cape May and the surrounding communities must have its salt removed in a process called desalination. Today, the cityâs water system is under capacity. The city is looking at options, including an entirely new system. (LINK).

As OC Digs Deeper for Drinking Water, Worries About Contamination Arise – California Due to Californiaâs ongoing drought, cities in North and Central Orange County have a greater risk of being exposed to drinking water pollution as they rely mostly from groundwater sources. According to attorney and water policy expert Felicia Marcus, who is also the William C. Landreth Visiting Fellow at Stanford University, regional officials hope to purify this groundwater and are also actively pursuing collaborations with local water districts in order to obtain clean drinking water for its residents. South Orange County, though, is not affected by this dilemma [âŠ] As OC Digs Deeper for Drinking Water, Worries About Contamination Arise – CaliforniaHIWI042022-01-05T14:46:19+01:00

Nuclear Operators Scramble To Make Reactors Flexible Enough For New Energy Economy – Arizona – USA Arizona Public Service is studying the possibility of using excess energy from its Palo Verde Nuclear Power Plant, when solar energy is flooding the grid, to desalinate brackish water. In Illinois, Exelon is looking at repurposing a reactor to produce hydrogen when thereâs plenty of wind energy on the grid, then using the hydrogen for steelmaking, ammonia production or fuel-cell vehicles. Across the country, nuclear operators are trying to figure out whether they can ramp down their reactors, which are optimized to run at maximum capacity, during those hours or seasons when renewable energy is abundant.
