With many experts predicting a widespread global water shortage in the next 50 years, desalination (the process of removing salt from sea water) can seem like an obvious solution to water scarcity. This site from the International Desalination Association (IDA) provides multiple resources and information on the topic. Desal 101 is a great place to start, as readers will quickly learn about the process of desalination. In addition, the Multimedia tab offers a number of interesting videos, including an introduction to the IDA Academy and Desalination Myths and Misconceptions. Finally, readers will find much to ponder within Publications, including fact sheets, newsletters, and links to previous issues of D&WR Magazine. While the information on the site is biased in favor of desalination, even the most skeptical reader will find beneficial resources on this fact-filled site.
