APEM Webinar | The Growing Role of Desalination in Water Supply

In this on-demand webinar, experts from APEM and the wider water sector will explore the environmental, regulatory and engineering considerations that shape sustainable desalination projects, from early feasibility and site selection through to consenting, design and operation.  

Meeting water demand sustainably.

Water demand is rising across the UK and beyond. Population growth, climate change, increasing regulatory pressures and the need to protect sensitive aquatic environments are placing unprecedented strain on traditional water resources. As utilities and infrastructure providers look to strengthen long-term water security, desalination is increasingly being explored as part of a more resilient and diversified water-supply strategy.

However, delivering successful desalination projects involves far more than engineering alone. Environmental constraints, marine ecology considerations, consenting requirements, planning approvals, infrastructure design and stakeholder engagement all play a critical role in determining whether a project is viable, sustainable and deliverable. Balancing water-supply needs with environmental protection remains one of the sector’s most significant challenges.

Why watch?

In this webinar, our specialists explore the growing role of desalination in addressing water scarcity and supporting future water resilience. Drawing on experience across environmental assessment, planning, permitting, marine and freshwater ecology, and infrastructure development, we’ll examine the key factors shaping desalination projects today and the considerations organisations need to address from the earliest stages of project planning.

We’ll cover:

  • Understand the role desalination could play in addressing future water resource challenges.
  • Explore environmental and consenting considerations that can influence project viability.
  • Learn how environmental evidence and engineering design work together to reduce risk.
  • Gain practical insight into developing resilient water infrastructure in a changing climate.
