What is the biggest benefit of using desalinated groundwater?
The biggest benefit of using desalinated groundwater in Texas is the preservation of our dwindling fresh water aquifers. The population of Texas is expected to double within the next 50 years and water demand to increase almost 27 percent in that time period. During that same time period, groundwater supplies (volume of groundwater that can be produced with current permits and existing infrastructure) is expected to decrease about 32 percent.
