摘要: Availability of freshwater is the prime mover human life activities. The advances in desalination technologies clearly show that desalinated water can be used as a substitute for to potable water. A breakthrough reverse osmosis costs has been reached, particularly decreasing energy consumption. introduction nanotechnology membrane manufacture resulted reducing volume rejected brine which turn alleviates disposal issue. Several recent studies development isolated areas economically competitive transportation by pipeline. solar power process given new dimension expansion technology. importance countries suffering from shortage, areas. This chapter presents an overview with emphasis on energy-driven units. Some case are highlighted. concludes discussion future avenues desalination.
