{"product_id":"water-desalting-planning-guide-for-water-utilities-isbn-9780471472858","title":"Water Desalting Planning Guide for Water Utilities","description":"Written by a select group of industry experts, under the supervision of the leading organization in water utilities, AWWA, this reference is the first practical guide to water desalination systems. Desalination is the process used to remove dissolved salts from seawater or highly-mineralized waters so that the water becomes usable for human and\/or agricultural and industrial usage. This book offers authoritative guidance on the planning, design, and implementation of a successful water desalination system for public water utilities.  \u003cb\u003ePreface.\u003c\/b\u003e
