Agricultural Use and Agricultural Runoff

Agriculture consumes 80% of the global freshwater resource.  EWM has integrated desalination with agriculture to improve the profitability of both desalination and agriculture, without consuming scarce fresh water. 

EWM has developed a system to clean runoff to provide potable quality water and recover the minerals. In addition to runoff, another natural area that EWM has been consulted on regards salt water intrusion. Many fresh water sources are being intruded with salt water to make the fresh water salty. EWM’s desalination technology also can be applied to prevent salt water intrusion into fresh ground water.
