The plan calls for petrochemical plants, along with power stations and desalinization plants that will sell their output to local customers. |
Demand management, desalinization, and supply from closer sources would all compete with bulk water export schemes. |
We also know the desalinization is expensive and will cause marine pollution when the hot, briny residue is dumped back in the sea. |
Matters also are likely to become worse as new ways are found to exploit the seas, from power generation to ocean mining to cheap desalinization. |
This process is also known as desalinization, desalting or saline water reclamation. |
Conversely, the use of wind power for desalinization has been explored but it is unclear if enough energy will be generated. |
