Abstract: (2 Views)
The global crisis of freshwater scarcity is one of the most critical challenges of the 21st century, exerting unprecedented pressure on water resources, particularly in island, coastal, and arid regions. As conventional freshwater sources dwindle, seawater desalination has emerged as a technological solution to meet the increasing demands for drinking and agricultural water. While this process significantly improves access to potable water, it also comes with environmental and health challenges, such as the production of concentrated brine, which can harm marine ecosystems, and the potential reduction in essential minerals that are typically found in natural water sources.
This study adopts a comprehensive approach to analyze and evaluate both the positive and negative impacts of desalination on human health. The primary objective is to provide a comparative analysis of the outcomes of this technology, offering a balanced perspective on its implications. The findings aim to inform effective policymaking, optimize desalination practices, and promote sustainable water resource management while safeguarding public health.
