Desalination




Desalination of Brackish Water is already commonplace in the U.S. , where it is used to meet treaty obligations for river water entering Mexico . Indeed, desalination has spread into use in over a hundred countries, with Saudi Arabia accounting for about 24% of total world capacity. Kuwait built the world's first large-scale desalination plant in the 1960s. Kuwait's energy reserves are so great that Kuwait is unique in using desalinated water for Agriculture . The world's largest ( Reverse Osmosis ) desalination plant is in Ashkelon , Israel . It began operating on August 4 , 2005 , and it is capable of producing 100 million cubic meters of water per year.
