Call for papers for the Conference and Exhibition on "Desalination and the Environment": Clear water & energy
Water and energy are the issues of this millenium. This conference on desalination for the environment will be devoted to advances towards providing fresh water for all, at affordable cost and at economical energy requirements. With limited and depleting natural sources, desalination can supplement some of the critically lacking amounts of water needed for sustainable development. Its place in the water cycle will be discussed.
This conference will take place in Barcelona (Spain) in 23-26 April 2012.
