Targeted Desalination for Water-Stressed Areas | Jamaica News
Description
The government is eyeing targeted desalination projects in St. Thomas and Clarendon to tackle local water shortages, with studies underway to assess feasibility and environmental impact. While too costly and ecologically sensitive for nationwide rollout, the plan focuses on smart, localized solutions—especially where demand is highest. A key innovation? Using solar power to drive the process, with energy from water release helping fund operations. If successful, engineering could begin next year, with equipment purchases possibly starting by 2028.
