Nuclear Desalination: A Promising Solution to Global Water Scarcity Challenges
Approximately 70% of Earth's surface is covered by water, yet numerous communities face challenges in accessing potable water. The United Nations reports that 2.4 billion people live in water-stressed countries, particularly affecting small-scale farmers who rely on water for various needs. The issue is exacerbated by poor management, misuse, pollution, and climate change, leading to a 20% decrease in freshwater per person over the past two decades. This water scarcity is increasingly causing conflicts globally. To combat water scarcity, various solutions have emerged, such as enhancing water conservation, adopting water-efficient technologies, implementing sustainable agricultural practices, improving infrastructure, and exploring alternative water sources like desalination.
