Preface

*Desalination – Ecological Consequences* delivers a comprehensive and robust exploration of desalination, including theories, experiments, and calculations.

The book is organized into two sections. Section 1 on the economic impacts of desalination includes techno-economic analyses of reverse osmosis and other practices of desalinated water. Section 2 discusses desalination technologies, including advances in harvesting freshwater, as well as the biological impacts of desalination technology.

The book also includes a general discussion about desalination, technologies, materials processing agents, techno-economic analyses of reverse osmosis plants, biological property, household practices, freshwater management and impact in industrial water treatment plants.
