About

Join our panel of expert presenters as they delve into various facets of desalination, exploring:
- Emerging technologies that significantly reduce power costs.
- The impact of climate change on the potential market growth of desalination.
- Industry initiatives aimed at minimizing environmental footprints.

We will also delve into the installation of large-scale desalination plants in Australia. These projects were prompted by the severe water supply crisis during the millennium drought. Our discussion will assess whether these significant infrastructure investments have proven worthwhile thus far.
