California Focus: Desalination loses more urgency in hyper-wet winter – California Desalination began to lose its urgency among Californians and their public officials two years ago, after the drought-busting winter of 2016-17, when heavy rain and snow ended dry conditions in most of the state. The idea of drawing potable water from the sea became even less of a priority this year, when an autumn of record-level fires gave way to one of the state’s wettest winters on record. (LINK).

MegaDroughts And Desalination — Another Pressing Need For Nuclear Power – California About 20% of the world’s population has no access to safe drinking water, and this number will increase as the population continues to grow and global freshwater sources continue to decline. The worst-affected areas are the arid and semiarid regions of Asia, the Middle East and North Africa. UNESCO has reported that the freshwater shortfall worldwide will rise to 500 trillion gallons/yr by 2025. They expect water wars to break out in the near-future. The World Economic Forum says that shortage of fresh water may be the […] MegaDroughts And Desalination — Another Pressing Need For Nuclear Power – CaliforniaDME GmbH2019-07-14T14:30:06+02:00
Corpus Christi desalination plans could soon become less murky – Texas The city of Corpus Christi has long made known its desire to bring seawater desalination to the area, but where such a facility would be located has remained unknown.

As Water Scarcity Increases, Desalination Plants Are on the Rise – California Some 30 miles north of San Diego, along the Pacific Coast, sits the Claude “Bud” Lewis Carlsbad Desalination Plant, the largest effort to turn salt water into fresh water in North America. Each day 100 million gallons of seawater are pushed through semi-permeable membranes to create 50 million gallons of water that is piped to municipal users. Carlsbad, which became fully operational in 2015, creates about 10 percent of the fresh water the 3.1 million people in the region use, at about twice the cost of […] As Water Scarcity Increases, Desalination Plants Are on the Rise – CaliforniaDME GmbH2019-06-14T08:18:19+02:00
