Feasibility of Seawater Treatment in the United States
 
Limited water availability has regulators, water management districts and municipalities looking for drought-proof, reliable water supplies. Seawater desalination is a technically viable solution to the water shortages in the United States; however, this technical viability has to be considered along with the water costs associated with the treatment of seawater. Seawater typically has a feed water total dissolved solids (TDS) content of 35,000 mg/L. This translates into a higher feed pressure, as well as more expensive materials of construction for treatment systems.
