The North-African coasts are characterized by a severe hydric stress while the potable water demand keeps increasing; this situation implies inter alias the implementation of desalination equipment with judicious types and locations. Site selection for a desalination plant is a very challenging task

While the fuel cost has increased in the past years, the desalinated water demand has also increased sharply, especially in the deserted areas. The challenge is to be able to meet such future demand, minimizing the water production costs. The desalination concepts have evolved, achieving substantial
