Water Technology is Expanding
United States Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation's mission is to protect water and related resources.
New technology is making water desalination much more cost effective. John Walp, commissioning manager of the Brackish Groundwater National Desalination Research Facility in Alamogordo, NM, spoke of this development with local Chamber of Commerce Water Committee members yesterday.
Because of the National Research Council's review of desalination, which was completed in April, the Bureau of Reclamation has adopted a strategy for supporting high risk research on major innovations and developing a better understanding of environmental issues associated with ocean and inland desalination, Walp said.
"There are new ways of combining technologies to improve efficiency, reduce costs, remove new types of contaminants and meet increasing state and federal regulations," Walp said, as reported by the Las Cruses Sun-News.
