Within some data limitations, the paper provides a first assessment of areas in Australia with potential for implementing desalination technologies to supply agricultural water. At the national scale, these areas were identified based on a set of selected criteria: distance from land currently used fo

As water resources are rapidly being exhausted, more and more interest is paid to the desalination of seawater and brackish water concentrations. Today, current desalination methods require large amounts of energy which is costly both in environmental pollution and in money terms. Many studies of wa

Increases in population and water use are increasing pressures on conventional water sources. The use of alternative sources for non-potable applications can relieve some of this demand. Poor quality ground water, combined with quantities of grey water and rain water, was identified as potential alt

The severity of water problems in Jordan was realized at the beginning of the 1980s. Many strategies and measures were proposed to alleviate and overcome these problems. These mainly include supply augmentation measures through constructing various hydraulic structures and groundwater exploitation.
