Description
The
U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), is
currently requesting pre-proposals sponsored by the Desalination and Water
Purification Research and Development Program (DWPR). Through this program,
Reclamation is forming partnerships with private industry, universities, water
utilities, and others to address a broad range of desalting and water
purification needs. The intent of the program is to augment the supply of
usable water in the United States. This will be accomplished by reducing the
costs, improving operation and reliability, and developing innovations in
desalination and water purification technologies. The Water Desalination Act of
1996 defines the following important terms: (1) Desalination or desalting means
“the use of any process or technique for the removal and, when feasible,
adaptation to beneficial use, of organic and inorganic … compounds from saline
or biologically impaired waters, by itself or in conjunction with other
processes” and (2) Saline water means “sea water, brackish water, and other
mineralized or chemically impaired water.”
