Carlsbad desalination plant : ウィキペディア英語版 | Carlsbad desalination plant
Carlsbad desalination plant is a desalination plant under construction in Carlsbad, California, adjacent to the north end of the Encina Power Station. The San Diego County Water Authority (SDCWA), the recipient of the fresh water produced by the plant, calls it "the nation’s largest, most technologically advanced and energy-efficient seawater desalination plant." The entire desalination project is expected to cost about $1 billion for the plant, pipelines, and upgrades to existing SDCWA facilities to use the water. It is scheduled to begin operations December 14, 2015.〔http://www.sdcwa.org/sites/default/files/desal-carlsbad-fs-single_1.pdf〕 ==History== The idea of a desalination plant in San Diego County, California began in 1993 after five years of drought. Membrane technology used in the plant was pioneered by General Atomics in La Jolla. Environmentalists opposed the construction due to multiple misapprehensions, including brine discharge〔 and that the ocean water intake could kill fish. Fourteen lawsuits were brought against the plant, including by Surfrider Foundation, and none were successful.〔〔
