Desalination by country
There are roughly 22,000 operational desalination plants, located across 177 countries, which generate an estimated 95 million m3/day of fresh water to over 300 million people daily. Micro desalination plants operate near almost every natural gas or fracking facility in the United States. Furthermore, micro desalination facilities exist in textile, leather, food industries, etc. As of December 7, 2023, Shoaiba Power and Desalination Plant, located on the Red Sea coast, managed by the Saline Water Conversion Corporation, holds the record for the highest production capacity globally, generating 2,998,000 cubic meters of desalinated water per day.
