Source Water Desalination

51. “Taxpayers' Best Friend” Looks Into Water Technologies 5/10/2016

    The Government Accountability Office recently assessed technologies that can potentially save the U.S. from water stress, focusing on distribution efficiency and the treatment of nontraditional sources. We provide a snapshot of GAO’s findings, including technology pros and cons, “readiness” rates, and levels of adoption.

52. Fractional Electrodeionization (FEDI) Technology For RO Permeate Polishing And Demineralization 5/5/2016

    Sabine Pass, a large LNG refinery in the U.S., required a membrane desalination solution to cater to its extensive process water needs in order to produce a large amount of liquefied natural gas for export.

53. Breakthrough System Improves Solar Still And Offers Low-Cost Desal 5/3/2016

    Desalination takes salt and other contaminants out of water. Now scientists are looking to take the prohibitive costs out of desalination.

54. Is Capacitive Deionization The Key To Desalination? 4/28/2016

    Capacitive deionization can remove ions, like salt, from water. With a lower energy cost than many other desalination methods, could it be the answer to drought?

55. U.S. Pumps Cash Into Jordan Desal Plant 4/26/2016

    The U.S. is pumping money into the water sector in Jordan, helping the nation build a desalination plant.

56. Vote Of Confidence: A Q&A With NAWC's President-To-Be 3/22/2016

    Martin A. Kropelnicki, whose presidency begins in October, talks lessons from Silicon Valley, the state of infrastructure, and the impacts of a changing environment.

57. East Meets West: Capitalizing On Water Opportunity In Southeast Asia 3/7/2016

    The U.S. Department of Commerce’s (DOC) International Trade Administration is planning a July business development mission to Singapore, Vietnam, and the Philippines to introduce American technology firms to the countries’ burgeoning water markets.

58. Australia Eyes 'On' Switch At Idle, $4B Desalination Plant 3/2/2016

    Australia, the driest inhabited continent, may boost its use of desalination as some of its states muddle through a dry spell.

59. Global Crisis And Modern Solutions At The Water-Energy Nexus 2/18/2016

    GE Water & Process Technologies and the World Resources Institute (WRI), an independent research organization studying sustainability, jointly produced a white paper called “Water-Energy Nexus: Business Risks and Rewards.” The paper hones in on the shared interest of the two groups, namely the supply of freshwater counted on by the energy industry, which in turn fuels water treatment operations, a relationship that’s known as the “water-energy nexus.”

60. Despite Drought, San Diego Is Dumping Treated Water 2/9/2016

    California is entering its fifth year of drought, but one city recently dumped a half-billion gallons of expensive, treated drinking water.
