Opinion / #desalination

Humanity’s consumption of fresh water has long exceeded the rate of replenishment. Now, researchers are warning that this essential natural resource is running out. If we are to reverse this trend, investing in natural solutions is our best hope.
How can water resources be better managed to bridge the widening inequality gap and provide clean, safe water and sanitation for all?
Experience from China's own solar sector could help it deliver a sustainable transition in Belt and Road countries, writes Brian Eyler.
