As Arizona looks to desalination as a drought solution, questions mount over its feasibility for the state
While Arizona received more rain and snow in recent months, a wet winter will not save the state from the decades-long mega-drought that is gripping the region. Water officials have worked on finding unique solutions, including desalination. Desalination has been seen by some, including Former Governor Doug Ducey, as an answer to Arizona’s ongoing water crisis. … The Arizona Water Infrastructure Finance Authority has also proposed a $5.5 Billion plan to build a desalination plant in Mexico’s Rocky Point, and pipe the water to Phoenix.
