Introduction:

Water is the lifeblood of cities, fueling growth, sustaining life, and ensuring prosperity. However, with rising populations and increasing demands, many urban areas are facing water scarcity. To quench this thirst, cities are increasingly turning to an unconventional source—seawater. Seawater desalination, the process of turning ocean water into freshwater, has emerged as a sustainable solution to urban water supply challenges. In this blog, we'll dive deep into the world of seawater desalination, exploring its real-world applications, sustainability considerations, and the unique challenges it presents in the quest to provide clean, reliable water to urban populations.

Thirsty Cities: The Urban Water Challenge
