		Desalination in the Levant Region Desalination has become an increasingly vital part of global water solutions for the 21st century. Driven by population growth, economic expansion, climate change, dwindling groundwater supplies and the pollution of many existing water resources, our planet is searching for new ways to quench its thirst. Desalination is unique in its proven ability to provide new and sustainable sources of water. Whether used as the primary source of water or as part of an integrated water management strategy, desalination is playing a critical role in addressing current needs and planning ahead for the future. Current state of Desalination and water reuse – as the latest inventory shows, the use of desalination and treated water continues to grow around the world. Today, desalination is used in 174 countries, with approximately 17,000 plants producing 107 million cubic meters a day. Globally, more than 300 million people rely on desalinated water for some or all of their daily needs. By 2025, the projected cumulative contracted capacity will exceed 250 million cubic meters a day – more than double our current output – and much of it will be from the sea.
