Water and energy are the issues of this millennium. This conference on Desalination for the environment will be devoted to advances towards providing fresh water for all at an affordable cost and with economical energy requirements. With limited and depleting natural sources, Desalination can supplement some of the critically lacking water needed for sustainable development. Its place in the water cycle will be discussed.

The conference will overview the most recent developments in desalination technology, its cost, and the extent of its application, as well as socio-economic and environmental issues. It will bring together research scientists, decision-makers, managers, design engineers and operators from water companies, utilities, industries, government departments, consulting firms, research institutes and universities.

Join us next year to contribute to Portugal’s future solutions to its water scarcity challenges.
