Rising Salinity In Water, Another Threat In Addition To Water Scarcity

A report from www.bd24news.com  today, “Water salinity puts people’s health at risk, affects crops in Mongla coastal region” reminds us once again that the intrusion of saline water in coastal regions, not only in Bangladesh but also in Thailand, is indeed a significant challenge.

Innosep is actively dealing with this challenge, along with other regions around the world that are facing similar issues. To desalinate water, there are indeed multiple methods available, and one commonly used system is the Reverse Osmosis (RO) system.

The RO system is an effective and widely used method for desalination. Apart from RO, other desalination methods include distillation, electrodialysis, and ion exchange. Each method has its pros and cons, and the choice of the desalination technique depends on various factors such as cost, energy efficiency, and available resources.

Desalination technologies are continually advancing, and ongoing research and development efforts aim to improve the efficiency and sustainability of these systems. This is crucial not only for coastal regions like Bangladesh and Thailand but also for other areas facing water scarcity due to increasing salinity levels.
