The benefits of desalination are straightforward: more water. The drawback, unfortunately, is the cost. Currently, the average cost of desalination is roughly $5 for 1000 gallons of water while a typical municipal water supplier charges about $1.50 for 1000 gallons [6]. This difference in priced is incurred from the costs it takes to build and

Desalination is a process that takes away mineral components from saline water. More generally, desalination is the removal of salts and minerals from a target substance, as in soil desalination, which is an issue for agriculture. Saltwater (especially sea water) is desalinated to produce water suitable for human consumption or irrigation. The by-product of the desalination process is brine. De
READ MORE3.5.3 Mitigating salinization. Desalinization technologies could be employed to deal with the problems of salinization in case of coastal aquifers, burdened by increased urbanization (Bates et al., 2008). Most of the desalination technologies employ membranes and are costlier than the established methods of water treatment.
