Access to clean water is increasingly becoming one of the key challenges to humans and wildlife worldwide as population pressure, degrading water quality, declining snowpack, and industrial and agricultural discharges contribute to this growing crisis. This symposium will explore the potential role of desalination as a viable source of clean water in our region, as well as developments in desalination technology in other arid regions of the world. Speakers will also identify the challenges and benefits of this technology with the guidance of practitioners and policymakers at the forefront of desalination.
