Introduction
Water is an essential component of the life support system
Middle East region has 5% of the world population but only 1% of the world’s renewable resources
Why go for desalination and water reuse? Lack of water resources
Deteriorating quality of fresh water sources
Reduced cost of water produced by desalination
Security of supply

Water in the WANA Region
Future water shortages foreseen, if not now
Additional, reliable, and safe water supply needed for population and industrial growth
Water supply is an issue of economic growth and national sustainability
Water can be a possible source of conflict

Desalination Usage
Current production of seawater corresponds only to the demand of 60 million inhabitants
Desalination is no longer a marginal water resource as some countries such as Qatar and Kuwait rely 100% on desalinated water for domestic and industrial use
![Page 7: Desalination and water reuse Norredine Ghaffour](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103016/554d6214b4c905003b8b5078/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Forces Behind the Development Potential of Desalination
Independent of climatic variations
Compared to conventional resources (civil engineering projects) , desalination projects:
• can be built quickly (2-3 years), close to demand
• have less problematic right of way
• are less likely to meet opposition of local groups
• are modular and easily adapt to demand evolution
• are more susceptible to private sector investment

Wastewater as a Source
The driving force for wastewater becoming a water source has been the advancement in water treatment technologies
Conventional wastewater treatment of primary, secondary and tertiary steps give policy makers a choice in cost versus product and versus use
Available technologies to produce even more superior quality water at a reasonable cost has widened the options for use
It is technically and economically possible to produce potable water from wastewater
![Page 9: Desalination and water reuse Norredine Ghaffour](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103016/554d6214b4c905003b8b5078/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Wastewater Reuse in the Region
Reuse varies widely, but mostly for agriculture
GCC countries generally treat the wastewater up to tertiary treatment
► Major amount dumped into the sea after conventional treatment.
► Partly used for greening and agriculture
► Presently there are plans to store the treated wastewater in aquifers

Trends in Water Cost
RO cost is reduced to a level to compete with traditional water supply options
Due to technological maturity and the various developments as well as transparency and competition, produced water from thermal and RO plants has considerably declined in the last 20 years.

Desalination ProcessesThermal – needs thermal and electrical energy
Membranes – needs electrical energy only
Both are energy intensive, accounting for
40-75 % of the operating cost
Why reduce energy consumption cost and CO2 emissions

Power oriented RE technologies are based on three major resources:
Solar or wind based solutions are particularly suitable for desalination purposes, given the resource availability in most of the water stressed areasWave energy is available where sea water is available, which is needed for desalination. The technology is little developed but has a huge potential.
RE : Power Oriented Technologies(Electricity Production)

Intermittent, difficult to predict and fluctuant.
What are The Limitations in Using RE?
Occupy large areas (cases of solar collectors, solar PV fields or wind farms)
Adverse impact on the environment:
• Visual impacts,
• Affection to marine and aerial life
• Noise (Wind for example )

Growth of desalination is phenomenal in the region
Water reuse is not widely accepted, can play an important role
Desalination and water reuse technology responds to market needs
Factors constraining growth rate of desalination:• Energy consumption can still be reduced
• Environmental impacts are positive, new guidelines
• Distribution infrastructures/rehabilitation foreseen
• Cost is declining, can be further reduced
RE systems have proven to be reliable. They are the technologies of the future and will play a role in future scenarios. It has great potential in WANA
Presently solar desalination can be used for small/medium scale applications in remote locations where grid electric power is not available
