IDA ESSENTIALS By Ms. Jantje Johnson

I am happy to announce that we have launched our first set of IDA Essentials publications. The titles of these first IDA Essentials are:

Issue 1.0 - Impact of Algae Bloom on the design and operation of water treatment systems.

Issue 2.0 - Concentrate Discharge Management: Environmental Assessments, Discharge Technologies, and RO Brine Treatment Technologies.

Issue 3.0 - Renewable Energy and Desalination - Solar Energy.

For more than 20 years, the IDA has hosted conferences globally for water desalination and water reuse. During this rich history, the IDA has built up a large library of papers presented at these conferences.

The technical content of many papers is still very relevant, and in some cases “what is old, has become new again.” We have been evaluating on how to make this valuable information available in a comprehensive way while still being user friendly and relevant to the reader. One of the goals and missions of the International Desalination Association is connecting people and ideas to enable a sustainable source of water. The launch of the IDA Essentials supports that fundamental mission.

The IDA Essentials are electronically available to IDA members at no cost. We will be issuing new IDA Essentials publications twice per year. I welcome any feedback on our IDA Essentials. You can contact me at essentialjantje@idadesal. org.
