With urban populations growing rapidly and climate change affecting water availability, water scarcity has become a major challenge. Desalination, which converts seawater or brackish water into drinkable water, offers a viable solution. This technique is widely adopted across the globe to tackle water shortages. In the Middle East, desalination accounts for up to 90% of drinking water, contributing roughly 40% to global desalinated water production.
The Need for Eco-friendly Desalination
Conventional desalination methods often consume significant energy and rely on non-renewable sources, leading to greenhouse gas emissions. Incorporating renewable energy sources like solar and wind into these systems can minimize their environmental impact.
