Regional Solutions for Concentrate Management

Desalination projects sometimes fail because concentrate disposal and management can adversely affect the environment. This study surveyed concentrate disposal and management practices and developed a decision methodology for managers, regulators, and other stakeholders to assess the viability of desalination concentrate disposal options on a regional and local basis. This decision methodology can be used to assess options for concentrate disposal based on environmental impacts, sustainability, costs, and regulatory and public acceptability.

Please note that the software developed in this project is no longer available.
