**SCOPE**
Over the last few decades desalination technologies have been                 used increasingly throughout the world to produce drinking water                 from brackish groundwater and seawater, to improve the quality                 of existing supplies of fresh water for drinking and industrial                 purposes, and to treat industrial and municipal wastewater prior                 to discharge or reuse. Desalination technologies include distillation                 (multiple-effect evaporation, multi-stage flash distillation,                 vapor compression, and solar distillation), reverse osmosis, electrodialysis,                 ion exchange, and freeze desalination. The selection of the most                 appropriate desalination technology for a particular use depends                 on many site-specific factors. Many of these same technologies                 can also be used to remove contaminants other than salt from water                 supplies. This guide furnishes a review of relevant literature                 on desalination in the collections of the Library of Congress.                 Not intended as a comprehensive bibliography, this guide is designed--as                 the name of the series implies--to put the reader "on target."
