This conference on desalination for the environment will be devoted to advances towards providing fresh water for all at affordable cost and at economical energy requirements. The study says unconventional water resources such as those resulting from desalination are key to support sustainable development goal 6 to ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all but that innovation in brine management and disposal is required. A number of technological developments in power and desalination sectors improved their efficiencies to save energy and carbon emission but still. Energy water environment nexus is very important to attain cop21 goal maintaining environment temperature increase below 2 c but unfortunately two third share of co 2 emission has already been used and the remaining will be exhausted by 2050.

Table 1 shows a comparison of energy consumptions for the commonly used water desalination techniques. In particular high energy consumption is a critical factor that affects the economics of desalination. Seawater desalination can extend water supplies beyond. Find read and cite all the research you.
