How is Desalination different from other water supply alternatives?
Unique opportunities: Provides new water supply from oceanwater and unusable
brackish groundwater/reliable Helps alleviate the overdraft of conventional sources Drought resistant/combatant High quality product water Unaffected by climate changes! Flexible modular capacity- can be increased to meet demand
or reduced to reduce supply and or energy consumption Can reclaim contaminated sources which without treatment
are unusable Desal technology makes more water recycling and reuse
possible
Co-location: Operating Scenarios
Assess the impact of various operating conditions:
1. Desalination facility operates only when the power plant operates and requires no additional feedwater
2. Desalination facility operates at times when the power plant is not fully operational, potentially requiring additional feedwater and energy production
3. Changes in the power plant cooling system potentially result in the need for additional feedwater beyond that required by the power plant, with potential impacts on mixing and dilution of the concentrate
4. Closing of a power plant leaves the desalination facility requiring another source of power, its own feedwater and other approaches to mixing and dilution
Co-location: Studying the Issues
Validate / identify the limits of potential benefits:
1. Use of existing feedwater infrastructure
2. Use of existing discharge infrastructure
3. Reduce power transmission costs and line losses
4. Use of power plant cooling water, eliminating the need for additional feedwater (and associated impacts)
5. Dilute brine concentrate with discharge from the power plant, thus decreasing the impacts associated with concentrate discharge
Co-location: DWR Policy
1. Commit to answering questions about the feasibility of seawater desalination along the California coast and the viability of co-location.
2. Prop. 50 funded projects affected by the co-location issue (2 pilots, 1 feasibility, and 1 R&D) will help provide needed information to make informed decisions on future funding for such projects.
3. While taking advantage of the benefits of co-location, it is important that desalination facilities proposing to co-locate with power plants should not aggravate or perpetuate the environmental impacts of these plants.
4. Any future full-production facilities of this nature will have to abide by all laws and regulations governing feed water intake as well as brine discharge

There is only certain ways that you can generate electricity. There are only certain number of finite technologies, each with their own strength and weaknesses, each with their own cost to produce, each with own effect on the environment.” Chuck DeVore (Assemblyman- Irvine) SN&R Oct 18, 2007.
There is only certain ways that you can generate electricity “Water”. There are only certain number of finite technologies “options”, each with their own strength and weaknesses, each with their own cost to produce, each with own effect on the environment.”
