Africa’s water crisis is often framed in terms of scarcity, but the continent’s coastlines and brackish aquifers tell a ...

Fresh water we can use for drinking or agriculture is only about 3 percent of the global water supply, and nearly 70 percent of that is trapped in glaciers and ice caps. So far, that was enough to ...

The more efficient desalination process could ease dwindling water supplies. Scientists may have found a more efficient water to desalinate water using solar power, according to new research, offering ...

Engineers built a solar-powered desalination system that produces large quantities of clean water despite variations in sunlight throughout the day. Because it requires no extra batteries, it offers a ...

Scientists led by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have designed a new PV-powered desalination system based on the time-variant electrodialysis reversal (EDR) technology. The proposed ...

Drought and climate change are impacting water supplies around the world. But desalination — pulling fresh, drinkable water from saltwater— can offer some relief. Desalination technology has existed ...

With nearly half the world’s population facing water shortages and 2.2 billion people lacking access to safely managed drinking water, these facilities could provide a lifeline. But can they truly ...

Jon Bessette sits atop a trailer housing the electrodialysis desalination system at the Brackish Groundwater National Research Facility (BGNDRF) in Alamogordo, New Mexico. The system is connected to ...
