The scarcity of fresh water resources and the need for additional water supply is already critical in many regions of the world and it will be increasingly important in the future. Some experts assume that the water issue can be one of the deciding factors of world stability, like fossil energy resources.
The practice of desalination - turning saline waters into fresh water - may rescue the Earth given their enormously huge volumes. In this regard, the project on desalination of the Caspian Sea water launched by Azerbaijan is gaining more attention. Read more about it in AZERNEWS online newspaper’s print edition published on February 22.
