The World Turns to Desalination
Middle Eastern, African, and Asian nations are building desalination plants at record speed. Climate change is shrinking freshwater supplies while populations grow.
Why This Will Likely Happen
- Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 mega-plants
- Israel’s global licensing of RO technologies
- India and China expanding coastal desalination
The future of water security increasingly depends on energy-efficient desal systems integrated with renewables.
