National Alliance for Water Innovation: Reimagining Desalination

National Alliance for Water Innovation: Reimagining Desalination (Video)

Water and ​energy are ​inextricably ​linked, yet in ​our 20th-​century water ​systems we use ​freshwater once ​then throw it ​away. ​

With ​innovations ​designed to ​enhance ​desalination ​technologies, ​agricultural ​runoff, ​produced water ​from industry, ​and inland ​brackish ​groundwater ​that are now ​seen as ​untreatable ​could all be ​sources of ​clean, safe, ​and affordable ​water. ​

The National ​Alliance for ​Water ​Innovation ​  , or  NAWI  , was founded ​in 2017 by ​three ​  Department of Energy national labs –  Lawrence ​Berkeley ​National ​Laboratory, ​  Oak Ridge ​National ​Laboratory, ​  and the N  ational ​Renewable ​Energy ​Laboratory ​  – to ​establish the ​next  DOE Energy Innovation Hub.  Along with a ​core group of ​industry and ​academic ​partners, NAWI ​formed a ​research ​coalition to ​examine the ​critical ​technical ​barriers and ​research needs ​to radically ​lower the cost ​and energy of ​desalination. ​NAWI is led by ​Lawrence ​Berkeley ​National ​Laboratory and ​headquartered ​in Berkeley, ​California. ​
