Desalination of Seawater - Manual of Water Supply Practices, M61

As worldwide fresh water supplies become increasingly stressed from population growth and uncontrolled water use, desalination of seawater has become an increasingly sought-after alternative for new water supply in coastal areas. This manual provides technical and planning guidance for drinking water utilities that currently operate, are developing, or are considering desalination facilities for seawater or brackish water. It provides detailed information on seawater treatment technologies, pre- and post-treatment, source-water and finished-water quality, environmental impact, residuals management, construction, operation, and maintenance costs, safety, and more.
