WATER
The Fujairah 2 Reverse Osmosis Desalination Plant is part of the largest hybrid desalination plant in the United Arab Emirates and one of the largest in the world. It produces daily 591,000 m3 of fresh drinking water.
Advancements in graphene to reduce swelling and pore size when exposed to water will reduce energy costs for existing reverse osmosis desalination plants and open the door to affordable second generation desalination.
Israel has pioneered the formula to fresh water abundance; conservation, no-waste, no-leaks, re-use of wastewater, drip-irrigation, affordable desalination and water sold at a price to cover costs. As the impacts of climate change and population growth plays out globally, desalination is seen as the only answer, however as Israel has proven there are numerous technologies and policies that are necessary to truely achieve water security.
