And in parts of the Arabian Gulf, the seawater, the salinity is increasing steadily due to the discharge of waste brine from desalination plants.

You're looking at brine pools formed by salt diapirs.

They are dead fly larvae. You can wash them off with brine!

Now we would be able to make use of all that waste brine.

We're at the edge of the Brine Pool, there's a fish that's swimming towards the camera.

A company called Aquaporin is starting to make desalination membranes mimicking this technology.

Israel had a strategic plan for sustainable development, including systems for recycling water and sewage effluents, and desalination plants.

Experiments in water management focus on the development of water harvesting techniques, the promotion of desalination plants and dam construction.

The desalination plant, which will have a capacity of 1,600 cubic metres per day, should be operational by the year 2007.

What if it is the equivalent, depending on where you are, of the Grand Canal, in terms of tourists, habitation, desalination, agriculture?

Desalination of salt water is another capital intensive option, which is used particularly in water scarce areas and for high value uses.

And so, the place that we took it to was this place called a Brine Pool, which is in the northern part of the Gulf of Mexico.

2.3 It is alleged that during the evening of 6 July 1989, the author was blindfolded and that a brine solution was poured into his eyes and nostrils.

Scientific research and technical development in the field of desalination and waste water treatment, in particular, could help to overcome the constraints of water scarcity.

We are pleased to note that the IAEA assisted programme to set up a nuclear desalination plant at the Karachi Nuclear Power Plant is making good progress.

It is He who made two bodies of water flow side by side, one fresh (and) sweet, the other brine (and) bitter, and has placed an interstice, a barrier between them.

We call for the intensification of international efforts to eradicate agricultural pests, introduce low cost water desalination plants, combat desertification, and reclaim lands and render them suitable for agriculture.

So we actually sort of designed the entire island as a single ecosystem, exploiting wind energy to drive the desalination plants, and to use the thermal properties of water to heat and cool the buildings.

We are convinced that, in the near future, nuclear energy will have a fundamental role, not only in clean energy production but also in human health, agriculture, industry, food preservation, water desalination and other peaceful applications.

Due to their size, most of these Territories are not endowed with natural resources and are subject to regular natural disasters, global warming, desalination of water sources, dependency on few commodities and a high level of emigration.

Other options included restructuring and construction of water infrastructure and reduction of leakage and construction of solar desalination systems despite high initial cost, and the implementation of nature and forest conservation measures to stabilize watersheds, and thus water resources.

These programmes include, among other things, the development of small and medium capacity multi purpose power reactors which can also be used for seawater desalination and heating, as well as the development of advanced next generation reactor and fusion technology.

There is also a need to intensify efforts to develop water and land related technologies for irrigation and water desalination, using solar energy technologies, and to develop pollution control measures, including integrated programmes for pest management and the control of chemical pollution.

When we run out of water, as we are in some parts of the world and soon to be in other parts of the world, we're going to have to get this from the sea, and that's going to require us to build desalination plants.

57. His Government was also concerned at drought and desertification, and it urged the international community to intensify its research in the area of the desalination of sea water and the development of drought resistant plants, and to provide assistance in the detection of groundwater using new technology.

Alike are not two bodies of water This one is sweet and fresh and pleasant to drink, and this one brine and bitter yet you get fresh meat to eat from both, and take out ornaments to wear. You see how the ships churn through them so that you may seek of His bounty and, perhaps, give thanks.

Most Parties recommended further research on the impacts of climate change on agriculture and forestry, studies on the technical and economic feasibility of desalination of sea water and underground aquifers, studies on the effect of temperature increase on health, and support of scientific and applied research on human development vis à vis mitigation.

The innovations that the government encourages, such as drip irrigation or desalination, not only reduce the domestic cost of such shortages to, say, 70, but also underpin an industry that, by selling its wares in the most demanding markets, accrues a global value of more than 1,000. In this sense, Israel s water scarcity has made the country wealthier than it otherwise would have been.

Some Parties (Djibouti, Guinea, Iran, The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Uganda) provided information on specific scientific research needs on climate, climate change and the effect of climate change on important economic sectors, on how to manage the waste sector and on the technical and economic feasibility of desalination of sea water, and on the use of aquifers in relation to the assessment of water resources.

Most Parties recommended further research on the impacts of climate change on agriculture and forestry, and studies on the technical and economic feasibility of desalination of sea water and underground aquifers, studies on the effect of temperature increase on health, and impacts on indigenous vegetation and animal diversity, on fisheries, health and malaria as well as an evaluation of drought resistant, high value crops.

According to IAEA, the next step in a nuclear desalination demonstration programme should be for one or more member States to proceed with preparatory actions for demonstration projects, including site selection and qualification, identification of user requirements, project specifications and the development of infrastructures as may be required for project implementation. 262. Another approach under investigation involves transporting fresh water to arid countries as ballast in tankers.

Access to life saving radiotherapy for cancer treatment, research and development to enhance food yields and agricultural production, nuclear technology for safe drinking water and seawater desalination, use of the sterile insect technique (SIT) to eliminate tsetse flies, and nuclear techniques to create a safer environment are all areas of application that are germane to the socio economic development of the developing countries with teeming but needy populations, including Nigeria.

The same point is made in the final report of the Independent World Commission on the Oceans. In reality, it is impossible to put a real monetary value on the water around us, as the oceans are an invaluable resource necessary for the very survival of the planet and of the individual States that depend on the oceans. Let me give the example of my country. How can we, as an island, put a price on this important asset when 75 per cent of our drinking water comes from desalination?
