Conclusions and recommendations

The ESCWA region has a great deal of experience and capacity with desalination. The cost of providing desalinated water can be high in certain cities, especially cities far from the coast. For example, the cost of delivering desalinated water to Sana’a, which is a city that is far from the coast and at a high altitude, is approximately $3.71/m3. On the other hand, the cost of providing desalinated water to Gaza City, which is a low-lying coastal city, is approximately $1.47/m3.92 These costs vary considerably depending on the type of desalination technology employed and the cost of energy.
