environment issues on the Wontanggi desalination plant There are many theories and articles to explain the ethical issues of the Wonthaggi desalination plant. Although the literature covers a wide variety of such theories‚ this review will focus on two main themes which appear frequently throughout the literature review. These two main themes are: the Kant’s theory on the Wonthaggi desalination plant‚ and the environment issues which are produced by the Wonthaggi desalination plant. This paper will focus

Making Research Essay- Topic 3 Stakeholder Engagement – A Case Study: The Victorian Desalination Project Introduction During environmental debates‚ the various stakeholders involved often have competing values‚ motivations and purposes. One example used to demonstrate this is the Victorian Desalination Plant (proposed to be completed 2011) in Wonthaggi‚ Victoria‚ Australia. The Victorian Desalination Project is a controversial project involving the Department of Sustainability and Environment

around Saudi Arabia‚ large-scale desalination could be the ideal solution to water scarcity. However‚ the expensive cost and the detrimental influence on the environment might limit the scale and sustainability of this method. Due to the cheap cost and the minor environmental damage‚ wastewater reuse is regarded as another potential solution. However‚ it seems to have a low social acceptance. Therefore‚ this report will compare the feasibility of desalination and water reuse in terms of cost‚

population and the needs of developed countries‚ desalination technology is a better choice‚ but not for developing countries. A cheaper heat source have been used in North Africa and India‚ but desalination won’t work in these cheap solar energy sources. Stehling writes‚ “However‚ these are small efforts because water requires so much heat to evaporate that very large ponds” (Stehling). Cheap technologies are not supporting the needs of desalination. Desalination was created by advanced technology and it

three points that will be discussed regarding the environmental issue is the desalination plants that are being constructed around Australia‚ monoculture and the use of pesticides in growing foods. Monoculture is the practice of growing one crop continuously over one area and desalination is the removal of salt and other minerals from saline water.

Desalination is already happening in many counties including China‚ Japan‚ Spain‚ Italy and Australia. In Australia‚ many towns and cities are already using desalinated water. Even if all the world’s water was produced through desalination there would be an almost inexhaustible supply. Out of all the water in the world‚ 97.5% of that is salt water and only 2.5% is fresh water. Less than 15 of the fresh water accessible. That’s why desalination would help to solve the water
