Why More Energy Efficient Desalination Plants Can Lead to More Water Being Harvested
10/12/20
“Why would increasing the energy efficiency of desalination plants lead to more water being harvested?”
Desalination plants are a vital tool for solving water deficiency in arid regions of the planet. However, their large energy consumption limits the amount of water that can be harvested since only so much electricity supplies can be budgeted for it. However, if these machines become more energy-efficient, then more water can be harvested for the same amount of electricity. This is Why More Energy Efficient Desalination Plants Can Lead to More Water Being Harvested.
