Published on by Benoit Le Roy, Operations Director at Nexus Water Alchemy in Technology
According to the International Desalination Association, there are more than 18 000 desalination plants operating across the globe, with a cumulative installed capacity of 88.91 million m3/day. However, South Africa has been slow to adopt this technology – often labelling it too expensive – and remains highly reliant on surface water resources.
