  2. Water pricing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_pricing

    Within this choice set, the preferred water tariff depends on multiple factors including: the goals of water pricing; the capacity of a water services supplier to allocate its costs, to price water, and to collect revenues from its customers; the price responsiveness of water consumers; and what is considered to be a fair or just water tariff.

  3. Levelized cost of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levelized_cost_of_water

    Desalination, which produces usable water from saline water, has a higher LCW than processing groundwater or surface water. A 2020 study found that advances in decarbonization would reduce the levelized cost of water produced via desalination from €2.4 per cubic meter in 2015 (US$2.84) to €1.05 per cubic meter in 2050 (US$1.24).

    Water tariffs vary widely in their structure and level between countries, cities and sometimes between user categories (residential, commercial, industrial or public buildings).

    World's first full scale variable salinity plant capable of treating both river water and seawater. Jurong Island (2022) – 30 million imperial gallons (mgd) / 137,000 m 3 /day. Located next to an existing power plant [ 99 ]

  7. List of rivers by discharge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rivers_by_discharge

    This article lists rivers by their average discharge measured in descending order of their water flow rate. Here, only those rivers whose discharge is more than 2,000 m 3 /s (71,000 cu ft/s) are shown. It can be thought of as a list of the biggest rivers on Earth, measured by a specific metric.

  8. Water export - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_export

    The cost of desalination is currently less than $1 per cubic metre ($0.028/cu ft). The World Water Commission has suggested that desalination will become the favoured method of procuring drinking and industrial-use waters. However, the need for extremely pure water for particular industrial uses would still require freshwater imports.
