This powerpoint presentation begins by providing a brief overview of the Water Research Foundation Report #4078, "Guidelines for Implementation of Seawater and Brackish Water Desalination Facilities." The objective of the report was to help utilities (and others) in planning and implementing desalination projects. The general approach and anticipated products included: a utility workshop and survey as critical first steps to focus on the issues that are really the biggest challenges utilities face, and to define the types of "guidelines" that will be most useful and accessible. A follow-up utility workshop is anticipated for late 2009, to vet the draft materials with utilities. Topics presented include: institutional drivers; dimensions of possible guideline applications; prioritizing across components of the desalination process, prioritizing across institutional and technical dimensions, and the planning issues matrix (PIM). Utility survey results are provided for desalination issues and needs, institutional challenges, decision-making and stakeholder groups, strategies to address challenges, and tools to facilitate planning and implementation. An overview of the Chino Basin Groundwater Desalination Cost-Benefit Case Study is provided. Includes tables, figure.
