Indirect economic impacts in water supplies augmented with desalinated water
Several goals can be considered when optimizing blends from multiple water resources for urban water supplies. Concentration-response relationships from the literature indicate that a changed water quality can cause impacts on health, lifetime of consumer goods and use of water additives like softeners. This paper describes potential economic consequences of diluting Copenhagen's drinking water ...

Extensive Aquifer Discovered Under Atlantic Seabed
The deposit, which contains brackish water, could be a source of easily desalinated drinking water The Atlantic Ocean is not the first place one would think of looking for fresh water, but that is exactly where Columbia University Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory researchers have found it — and not just a little bit. The newly discovered aquifer is embedded in porous sediments beneath a ...

Pros and Cons of Seawater Desalination using Reverse Osmosis for Drinking Water
Seawater desalination will undeniably be the future of drinking water production for coastal communities and island nations in current times of water scarcity. It is already used quite heavily in a few countries. Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States are the top three desalination producers of drinking water by capacity in the world followed by Australia, China, and ...

Acceptance of water alternatives in Australia – 2009
In a nationally representative study with a sample size of 1495, Australian residents were asked about their attitudes to recycled and desalinated water. Specifically, they were asked to state how likely they would be to use these sources of water for 14 purposes. Recycled water was found to have a higher stated likelihood of being used for watering gardens (compared to desalinated water). No ...

Technological approaches to providing safe drinking water for rural and remote areas
Provision of safe drinking water is one of the key drivers in our technological pursuits. A number of habitations are suffering from a variety of water quality problems such as excess salinity, iron, arsenic, fluoride, nitrate and microbial contamination. Simplicity of operation, less dependence on external sources of power supply, minimisation of wastewater, etc., are some of the ground rules to ...

MIDES Project
The production of low-cost drinking water from sustainable resources is still the biggest challenge facing the world. Reverse Osmosis (RO) desalination is broadly used to produce drinking water. MIDES project introduces the Microbial Desalination Cell (MDC) as a pre-treatment for RO. The goal is to dramatically decrease the energy required for the drinking water production, to archive a high ...

3 Ways a Desalination Unit Keeps Your Drinking Water Safe
Your desalination unit is one of the water treatment systems on your offshore rig that helps ensure that you have the water you need for daily functions at sea. As such, it’s critically important to the safety of your crew. Offshore platforms are often located in the most remote, inhospitable places on the planet. Entire crews-often, hundreds of people-work on and call these platforms home. ...

Drinking water in Cuba and seawater desalination
The lack of drinking water has become a problem at world level because, in many places, supplies are very limited and, in other places, their reserves have been drained. At the present time there are estimated to be around two thousand million people that don't have drinking water for several reasons, such as drought, contamination and the presence of saline waters not suitable for human ...

Seawater desalination and serum magnesium concentrations in Israel
With increasing shortage of fresh water globally, more countries are consuming desalinated seawater (DSW). In Israel >50% of drinking water is now derived from DSW. Desalination removes magnesium, and hypomagnesaemia has been associated with increased cardiac morbidity and mortality. Presently the impact of consuming DSW on body magnesium status has not been established. We quantified ...
