http://www.gizmag.com Desalination is a popular source of potable water in Middle Eastern countries, where large energy reserves and the relative scarcity of water suitable for drinking led to desalination in the region accounting for close to 75% of total world capacity in 2007. If that figure hasn’t already dropped it almost certainly will as access to clean water becomes an issue for many places around the globe. And the shortage isn’t just limited to developing countries, with places like California and parts of Australia facing their worst droughts in recorded history. A new mini-mobile-modular (M3) “smart” water desalination and filtration system could help determine the feasibility of desalination in areas that may be considering it for the first time.en gizmag.com http://www.gizmag.com/m3-desalination-system/12230/#comment-3796 http://www.gizmag.com/m3-desalination-system/12230/#comment-3796 Wed, 15 Jul 2009 17:28:29 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/m3-desalination-system/12230/#comment-3790 http://www.gizmag.com/m3-desalination-system/12230/#comment-3790 Wed, 15 Jul 2009 12:15:02 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/m3-desalination-system/12230/#comment-3784 http://www.gizmag.com/m3-desalination-system/12230/#comment-3784 Wed, 15 Jul 2009 10:38:41 -0500
