The UK government has approved a new scheme for desalination of water from the Thames, for use in London. The £200 million plant will be built in Beckton, east London. It's not a popular plan, though, among environmental campaigners. We've written before

An ambitious scheme to build a number of solar power stations along the Mediterranean shores of the Middle East and northern Africa could generate enough electricity to supply one sixth of the European Union's needs. The generators, individually fitted

We´ve noted in the past plans for new desalination plants in Australia and low-grade energy desalination technology from New Mexico.

Record droughts, falling water tables and the rapid depletion of aquifers have helped make desalination, a process once considered impractical and too expensive, a viable technology -- at least in some places. As such, there has been a rash of stories --
