Voice of San Diego - Politics Report: The Real Reason the Water Agencies Are Fighting so Hard

A case study as to why California keeps its distance from #desalination in order to address its #water and #aridification #drought issues. Expensive and politics. https://voiceofsandiego.org/2023/07/22/politics-report-special-water-edition/

@matthewtoad43 @mkoek @kathhayhoe True. #California has had #desalination plants on the coast for years, they still end up suffering during #droughts. Why??

ScienceDaily - Don't wait, desalinate: A new approach to water purification: The future of clean water is electrified, according to chemists

A new purification system developed by researchers at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology uses an electrified version of #dialysis to separate salt and other unnecessary particles from the potable product, enabling scientists to desalinate water at 90% less cost than current methods. They're planning to move to larger bodies of water.

What a week!
It’s almost a wrap for #EUSEW2023. So many people - and glad to see so many young ones - interested in #SustainableEnergy.
From #desalination to #energycommunities, there was so much to talk about. 💡🤩

You could build water canals filled with seawater and covered with #solar panels to prevent evaporation and power #desalination plants.

Desalination - Wikipedia

@theappletree yes, there are #Desalination plants - this from Wikipedia is quite interesting. Don’t know how scaleable this is - and of course, these plants take time to build, ie wouldn’t help in an acute emergency. Still, might become a #ClimateAdaption strategy .. not an expert myself at all

#Water crisis in #Uruguay also includes some very poor planning: #desalination plant that was expected to help solve the water shortage "does not fit" in a C-130 Hercules aircraft, because someone did not check and it's "15 centimeters" too large. So now they have to send it by boat. #aircraft #planning https://en.mercopress.com/2023/05/23/uruguay-to-import-bottled-water-desalinization-plant-does-not-fit-in-aircraft

Cleaning and pickling the #watermaker - first flushing through with an alkaline cleaning solution that removes organic deposits, then with an acidic solution that removes calcium deposits and remains in the system, "pickling" it to prevent any growth while it sits in hot weather for a few months.

Desalination removes salt and minerals from seawater to make it drinkable. It can be done by boiling the water, collecting the steam, or filtering it through membranes. Desalination can provide a source of fresh water in areas that face water scarcity, droughts, or growing demand. Desalination has drawbacks, such as high energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and environmental impacts from brine disposal and intake systems.
