Few people, even in the water sector, probably realise that the desal industry currently claims to manage 19,000 units of all sizes globally, serving 300 million customers. In other words, this sector is now evolving from a capital intensive oddity largely confined to Middle Eastern oil-rich countries into a fashionable and commonplace ultimate solution to water scarcity. The volume [I]Tapping the Oceans: Seawater Desalination and the Political Ecology of Water[/I], edited by Joseph Williams and Erik Swyngedouw, is thus a timely and insightful introduction to the entanglements of water, salt, power, and capital in the emergence of seawater desalination as a major feature – and maybe a future game changer – of the 21st-century water agenda. It includes ten chapters with eight case studies, spanning California, Mexico, Chile, UK, Spain, Israel, South Africa, and Singapore.
