The 46 pages that link to Desalination, each with the reason it gives.

• IrrigationRelated: It can create an irrigation supply where freshwater is scarce, at substantial energy and cost.

• Water scarcityRelated: It adds a supply source where coastal freshwater is limited.

• Persian GulfRelated: Water-scarce gulf states rely heavily on coastal desalination plants.

• DistillationRelated: Thermal desalination evaporates water and condenses it apart from salts.

• SalinityRelated: Desalination reduces salinity to make seawater or brackish water usable.

• Osmotic pressureRelated: Reverse-osmosis desalination must overcome the osmotic pressure of saline feedwater.

• Red SeaRelated: Coastal communities around the Red Sea use desalination amid scarce freshwater supplies.

• BrineRelated: Desalination processes create concentrated brine as a residual stream.

• Freezing-point depressionRelated: Freezing-based desalination separates ice from concentrated brine by exploiting differences in phase composition.

• Water securityRelated: It adds supply in coastal regions where conventional sources are limited.

• Drinking water treatmentRelated: Desalination supplies drinking water where freshwater sources are scarce or saline.

• Membrane filtrationRelated: Reverse osmosis membranes make desalination widely practical.

• Ionic conductivityRelated: Ion transport through membranes and electrodes underlies several electrically driven desalination methods.

• SeawaterRelated: It makes seawater a source of freshwater where supplies are limited.

• DubaiRelated: Desalination supplies much of Dubai’s drinking water but consumes energy and produces brine.

• HydrosphereRelated: It can convert abundant saline water into freshwater supplies.

• Concentrated solar powerRelated: Solar heat can supply thermal energy for desalination processes.

• Agriculture in Saudi ArabiaRelated: It supplies cities and industry, indirectly easing competition over scarce freshwater.

• DubaiRelated: The city depends heavily on desalination, linking urban growth to energy use and marine impacts.

• NanofiltrationRelated: Nanofiltration can partially desalinate brackish water and pretreat feed for other processes.

• Sanitary engineeringRelated: It expands water supply where conventional freshwater sources are limited.

• NegevRelated: Desalinated water can support communities and agriculture in water-scarce southern Israel.

• Small modular reactorRelated: Nuclear heat or electricity from an SMR could power desalination processes.

• Salted fishRelated: Soaking salted fish in fresh water reduces its salt content before cooking.

• Tap waterRelated: Desalination can provide source water for tap supplies where freshwater is scarce.

• CupronickelRelated: Cupronickel components are used in some desalination equipment exposed to hot, saline fluids.

• Eastern ArabiaRelated: Gulf cities rely heavily on desalination because freshwater resources are scarce.

• Graphite oxideRelated: Graphene oxide membranes derived from graphite oxide are investigated for selective water transport.

• Body of waterRelated: It makes saline bodies potential sources of freshwater.

• Climate change in the Middle East and North AfricaRelated: It supplies water in arid states but requires energy and creates concentrated brine.

• Effects of climate change on small island countriesRelated: It can supplement water supplies where drought or saltwater intrusion degrades groundwater.

• Fractional freezingRelated: Freezing can separate relatively fresh ice from salt-rich residual water.

• JubailRelated: Desalinated water supports the city’s population and water-intensive industries.

• Nanofluidic devicesRelated: Nanoporous membranes can separate water from ions using size and surface effects.

• Saline waterRelated: It converts saline water into water suitable for uses requiring lower salinity.
