The poor distribution of precipitation, and the limited freshwater capacity with increasing urbanization and growing population, and agricultural activities pose serious threats to sustainable development. Renewable energy seawater desalination becomes a globally attractive solution for fresh water supply to overcome the limited freshwater capacity. This workshop will cover most of the topics developed by the chairs of this workshop in their published book entitled “DESALINATION ENGINEERING” by Prof. Mohamed Ali Darwish. This incudes thermal desalination, membrane technologies, Reverse osmosis and exploring renewable energy to reduce the environmental impacts. The objective of this workshop is to assist decision making for the implementation of solar desalination, discuss different technologies and system using renewable energy-driven desalination processes and the environmental impacts of solar-desalination.
