Abstract
Existing desalination capacity and the prospects for future adoption varies across US states and differs for brackish water and seawater. Brackish water desalination—treatment of waters with dissolved solids of 1000 and 10,000 milligrams per liter (mg/L)—in states like Florida, California, and Texas has made the United States a global leader in this type of desalination. In contrast, the United States has only a limited number of municipal seawater desalination facilities. As of 2015, treated brackish water and seawater were not significant municipal water sources at the national level; water from desalination represented less than 1% of US municipal water supplies. This situation, however, does not reflect the future role that desalination may play in addressing regional and local shortages of developed freshwater supplies.
