National Desalting and Water Treatment Need Survey: Water Treatment Technology Program Report, No. 2

摘要

This report presents the findings of a survey conducted under the Desalting Technology Program, Bureau of Reclamation, to determine the needs for desalting and water treatment from a national perspective. This survey examines available water quality and information for both raw water and treated water supply. A broad overview is also provided of current and proposed water treatment activity in the following major areas of application: industrial and municipal supply, wastewater reuse, ground-water recharge, irrigation drainage, dual-purpose plants, hazardous waste control, and point-of-use treatment. In addition, the technical, economic, financial, environmental, and regulatory concerns about desalting/water treatment technology are briefly summarized.
