Abstract:
The positive impact of desalinated water on agricultural crops is becoming clearer through different projects and experiments, raising the need to check the feasibility of desalinated water in agriculture. In this work the authors tested the impact of desalinated water in terms of salts on the growth of bananas in the short term, and the economic feasibility of establishing small desalination units for small cooperatives or individual farmers. The conclusions? The investment in desalination is certainly worthwhile.
