Worldwide, many regions have a great potential to cover part of
their pressing water needs by renewable energy powered water
treatment processes using either thermal or membrane based
technologies. Not only arid and semiarid regions are increasingly
suffering from water shortage but also many other regions face a
limitation of freshwater resources either by increasing
contamination of surface water bodies or groundwater resources
unsuitable for drinking and irrigation purposes either due to their
high grade of mineralization or their contents of toxic components.
In many areas without centralized water supply, treatment
techniques using locally available renewable energy resources such
as wind, solar and geothermal can provide an economical, social and
environmentally sustainable option for clean water production from
seawater and from highly mineralized or otherwise unsuitable
ground- and surface water. This book provides an overview on
possible cost-efficient techniques and application opportunities
for different scales and shows why the implementation of these
technologies faces numerous technological, economic and policy
barriers and provides suggestions how they can be overcome. It
serves as a synoptic compendium of the fundamentals of freshwater
production using renewable energies, applicable to all types of
water, ranging from brackish to marine water and also including
industrial and communal residual water. The book is aimed at
professionals, academics and decision makers worldwide, working in
the areas of water resources, water supply,land planning, energy
planning, greenhouse gases emission mitigation and rural
development.
