Desalination As its name implies, desalinization consists of separating the salt from the water, obtaining water that has the sufficient quality for a given use; normally for human consumption (drinking water) or for use in industrial, agricultural or other activities. Drinking Water Due to the increase in the demand of drinking water, the number of hydraulic resources in use is on the rise. This implies that we will find wildly different situations and water characteristics when procuring water that is suitable for human consumption. Treatment Sewage is treated at Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTP), where, once noxious substances have been eliminated, it is returned to bodies of water in optimal quality conditions, or it may be reused. Regeneration According to our laws, the concept of “direct reutilization” of water corresponds to “any water that, having been already used and before its restitution to public watercourses, is applied to other different, successive uses.” Therefore, this implies the use of treated water after having undergone a “regeneration” process.
