Georgiadis 14 Benito J. Science and technology for water purification in the coming decades. One of the most pervasive problems afflicting people throughout the world is inadequate access to clean water and sanitation.

Problems with water are expected to grow worse in the coming decades with water scarcity occurring globally even in regions currently considered. Technology being developed to improve the disinfection and decontamination of water as well as efforts to increase water supplies through the safe re-use of wastewater. Problems with water are expected to grow worse in the coming decades with water scarcity occurring globally even in regions currently considered water-rich.

Addressing these problems calls out for a tremendous amount of research to be conducted to identify robust new methods of purifying water at lower cost and with less energy while at the same time minimizing the use of chemicals and impact on the environment. Here we highlight some of the science and technology. Through continual improvements particularly in the last decade desalination technologies can be used reliably to desalinate sea water as well as brackish waters from saline aquifers and riversDesalination of all types though is often considered a capital-77 and energy-intensive 78 process and typically requires the conveyance of the water to the desalination plant pretreatment of the intake water.
