The second phase of our project consisted of visiting each site and exploring the variety of content presented on the various Web pages. The criteria used to evaluate and rank emerged inductively as we had no prior experience to proceed deductively. The Top Ten Desalination Web Sites. The types of information or features that these pages have form a de facto set of criteria for being in the Top Ten. The date of construction of a Web page and date of last modification indicates currency and maintenance.
Some sites have access to articles on desalination.
Searching can be by title, author, country or publisher. A search using the keyword desalination produced 33 returns, most of which were 1997 publications. A newsletter provides information on forthcoming conferences, news, current developments, regulative and legislative issues, and new product developments. For example, World Wide Water's Desalination Technical Papers are a bibliography of over 500 desalination articles and monographs from the 1960s into the 1990s. Product Information A desalination Web page is an excellent place for providing product information.
