Desalination costs plummet

A desalination plant in Australia. Wikimedia Commons.The cost of water desalination has fallen by more than half since 2000, from $1.10 a cubic meter (220 gallons) to 50¢. Looking back 50 years the cost has fallen 90%, and the volume of water treated has nearly quadrupled from 2003, with 20,000 desalination plants now in operation worldwide. The falling costs are driven by improved technology — modern reverse-osmosis plants obviate the need to boil and distill seawater, reducing energy consumption. In the Middle East, where fresh water is often hard to find, “ the megaprojects will only multiply,” Sherwood reported: A $900 million plant opened in Abu Dhabi this year, and a $1.5 billion, 1-million-square-foot plant will begin operations in Israel soon.
