Executive Summary
Water scarcity in arid regions poses significant challenges to sustainable development and community resilience. Desalination presents a promising technology to augment freshwater supplies by converting seawater or brackish water into potable water.
The “Investigating Desalination as a Solution for Water Scarcity” initiative aims to assess the feasibility, benefits, and environmental implications of desalination technologies in addressing water scarcity in arid regions. This proposal outlines the rationale, objectives, methodologies, and expected outcomes of the study.
Background and Need
Arid regions face acute water shortages due to low rainfall, high evaporation rates, and limited freshwater resources. Traditional water sources are often insufficient to meet growing demand from urbanization, agriculture, and industry.
Desalination technologies offer a sustainable alternative by leveraging seawater and brackish water resources, potentially reducing dependence on fragile freshwater ecosystems and groundwater reserves.
