So there are other factors that dictate the uncontrolled expansion of the desalination market. Several issues need to be taken into consideration including environmental impact, engineering capabilities, the availability of first class EPC contractors etc.

The biggest challenge is and will be with water consumption. For example, today 96% of the water consumption in the dairy business comes from feeding.
