Brackish groundwater

This paper offers a review on different experiences that have been conducted in South America, which are of interest for the agricultural use of the brine reject originated in inland desalination plants. The results obtained by a combined production scheme that uses brine reject from inland desalina

Depletion of fresh groundwater sources as the result of overdraft, salinization and pollution becomes a major problem in parts of the world. Desalination of brackish groundwater by membrane technology, e.g. reverse osmosis (RO), seems to be a promising solution to water scarcity problems. However, e

Semi-arid regions throughout the world face water scarcity and the need for more efficient and alternative sources of drinking water supply. Inland regions in the Arabian Peninsula have the alternate option of coastal seawater desalination and long-distance conveyance, often with lift to substantial

Water provision for developing countries is a critical issue as a large number of lives are lost annually due to lack of access to safe drinking water. The presence and fate of inorganic trace contaminants is of particular concern. Trace inorganic contaminants have been found in elevated concentrati
