Infographic: Energy-Efficient Desalination Could Provide Clean Drinking Water for Those in Need

The world is facing a serious water shortage. Humans are using more than 9 quadrillion liters of water per year (or 25 trillion liters per day), and more than one-third of people worldwide lack access to clean drinking water. For a long time, environmental groups have warned that desalination is not the answer to the shortage of freshwater because it is so energy intensive; depending too much on desalination would increase CO2 emissions while damaging marine habitats....<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/infographic-energy-efficient-desalination-could-help-provide-for-those-who-lack-access-to-clean-drinking-water/'>READ ARTICLE</a>
