Seawater Desalination Technologies

Abstract

A rapidly increasing population, the depletion of high quality water sources by water population and desertification, are the main causes of the increased demand. There are many solutions to the water problem, including control of water consumption, conservation, improved distribution and storage, reclamation, purification and reuse, crops that use less water, tapping of new sources. Desalination is seriously considered only when all the other possibilities have been ruled out. With this purpose, for our country, it is aimed to determine economical and applicable desalination methods and to bring up the optimal solution examining studies which was published in this topic. In this paper, it was investigated the desalination technologies which is used to obtain fresh water from seawater.
