As a consequence of disrupting the water cycle via human interventions, such as climate change, humanity is facing global water crises. The water crises are wide ranging, but often associated with the deterioration of a local water cycle’s capacity to support a population. This capacity is reduced on a global scale through the atmosphere via climate change, but on a local scale, it can be reduced because of an over extraction of resources, alteration of ecosystems, and water pollution. The deployment of desalination plants is growing around the world. Reverse osmosis (RO) desalination is much more efficient than the thermal …
