Rethinking Desalination: Go-to Solution or Last Resort? Open Access

Desalination has gained prevalence transforming drinking water management across various parts of the world. Broadly due to the rising demand and impact of climate change on water resources, desalination is hailed as the go-to solution. Use is more common in the Middle East where freshwater is scarce, and salt water is plentiful. These fossil fuel hungry infrastructures are making their way to other parts of the world such as Bangladesh. Led by the development and private sector, the emergence of such plants has been geographically uneven in the country and can lead to unintended consequences. Taking Saudia Arabia and Bangladesh as case studies, this paper discusses the nature of the two countries and suitability of desalination as a drinking water source. This paper aims to enhance our understanding and proper planning, shedding light to the varying context and circumstances under which desalination is implemented.
