The current demand is also intensified by increased water utilization for hand washing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Today, around 20,000 desalination plants operating around the world produce 100 million cubic meters of water per day to supply 300 million people. These desalination plants are a major source of environmental and marine pollution due to their inefficient operation. Scientists and researchers are encouraged to develop out-of-box solutions to achieve future sustainability. This book addresses key challenges related to the desalination industry. 606 $aSaline water conversion 606 $aNuclear saline water conversion plants 615 0$aSaline water conversion. 615 0$aNuclear saline water conversion plants. 676 $a628.167 702 $aShahzad$b Muhammad Wakil 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910688170903321 996 $aPathways and Challenges for Efficient Desalination$92902648 997 $aUNINA
