DESWARE
is a stand-alone encyclopedia focusing on the
specific topics of desalination and water resources
developed in parallel with the main EOLSS project.
The desalination community has long needed a rich
archival source of knowledge of the science,
technology, and management experience available for
the design, operation, and maintenance of
desalination plants. Linked to this are the problems
of water supply that often precede the decision to
install desalination plants. The encyclopedia
presents a detailed and comprehensive coverage of
these interdisciplinary subjects for the first time.
The
list of contents of the encyclopedia has evolved

demands. For the specialist there are more in-depth
features on latest advances and research and
