WHITE PAPER AMERICAN WATER: Innovations Solutions Within TheWater Industry: Desalination is featured, with BACKGROUND, EXPLAINING DESALINATION, UNDERSTANDING THE CHALLENGES, FINDING SOLUTIONS and CONCLUSION sections. CONCLUSION “
All solutions have their critics, and desalination is no exception. With the nation's first large-scale seawater desalination plant fully operating in Tampa and plants being planned for San Antonio and Laredo in Texas, as well as Carlsbad and Monterey in California, desal will very soon become a mainstay of the U.S. water industry. As has been demonstrated, there is a pressing need in this country to find ways to both increase sustainable capacity and conserve water. Desalination technologies can provide a water supply solution that can best serve local and regional needs. Therefore, it is essential that more people understand and focus on the benefits of desalination.”
Note: The company was a subsidiary of the German-based RWE
Group from 2001 to 2008; the company was divested in 2008 in an IPO on the
NYSE.
