Papers Desalination Devices Currently Available (Ecomagination.com) "GE's desalination platform uses membrane technology to transform seawater and brackish water into fresh water for drinking, irrigation and industrial applications. This particular ecomagination breakthrough couldn't come at a better time – water scarcity affects 1 in 5 people today, and that number will climb to 3 in 5 in 20 years. GE's reverse osmosis (RO) and electrodialysis reversal (EDR) technologies produce water reliably and affordably. They are also versatile – accommodating a range of sizes, across continents, for almost any salt or brackish water source." 05-07 Desalination Processes and Costs (California Government) Describes methods and costs for desalination at different locations in California. 03-06 Desalination by a Solar Sustainable Method (Seawater Greenouse) "The Seawater Greenhouse is a unique concept which combines natural processes, simple construction techniques and mathematical computer modelling to provide a low-cost solution to one of the world's greatest needs – fresh water. The Seawater Greenhouse is a new development that offers sustainable solution to the problem of providing water for agriculture in arid, coastal regions." "The process uses seawater to cool and humidify the air that ventilates the greenhouse and sunlight to distil fresh water from seawater. This enables the year round cultivation of high value crops that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to grow in hot, arid regions." 05-07 Desalination by a Water Theater (Seawater Greenouse) The Teatro del Aqua uses cold water pumped from deep in the ocean, sea breezes, and a process of condensation that allows the development of huge amounts of freshwater from natural processes. 06-07 Desalination by a Water Theater (WorldArchitectureNews.com) "The Teatro del Agua, together with the proposed new waterfront buildings, utilise energy from the sun, the sea and the atmosphere to create cooling and fresh water." 06-07 Desalination to Combat Water Shortages (Capital Times) "California's epic quest for water, made more pressing by a Western drought and a cutback in the Colorado River supply, is turning toward what many see as an obvious source: the Pacific Ocean." "For the most part, desalination has long been prohibitively expensive as a source of drinking water in California. But rising demand, dwindling supply, and new technology that makes it cheaper to take the salt out of sea water are changing the economics of desalination."  " The basic process of desalination is not new. Salt water is pumped through filters under high pressure, squeezing out minerals. Israel and Kuwait have relied on desalination for decades, as have military vessels and cruise ships." 03-06
