Recently, different technologies such as desalination processes have been utilized to obtain fresh water from natural sources to develop good standards of life, flourish industrial activities, and enhance civilization. Hence, this book chapter aims to cover the fundamental aspects of harnessing energy from the sun or solar cells, covering the history of this topic as well as the new related policies. A discussion of the basics of solar cell devices, performance challenges, and long-term stability will follow. This chapter will also address state-of-the-art membrane-based desalination technologies in generating fresh water from various renewable sources such as solar, wind, wave, and geothermal.

Water supply and water treatment are of major concern all around the world. In this respect, membrane processes are increasingly used and reported for a large range of applications. Desalination processes by membranes are well-established technologies with many desalination plants implemented in coastal areas. Natural water treatment is also well implemented to provide purified water for growing population. This review covers various aspects of desalination: membranes and modules, plants, fouling (scaling, biofouling, algal blooms), cleaning, pretreatment (conventional and membrane treatments), energy and environmental issues, renewable energies, boron removal and brine disposal. Treatment of natural water focuses on removal of natural organic matter, arsenic, iron, nitrate, fluoride, pesticides and herbicides, pharmaceutical and personal care products. This review underlines that desalination and natural water treatment require identical knowledge of membrane fouling, construction of large plants, cleaning procedures, energy and environmental issues, and that these two different fields can learn from each other.

“…Provided that the facility shares the surpluses of generated energy, synergies will increase as well. According to this scheme, Rosales et al [52] found a standard water cost of 0.5 to 0.6 EUR/m 3 . As desalinated water demand increases costs and emissions as well, leading to a higher climate change risk itself.…”

In order to eradicate water–energy–food poverty, Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) proposed milestones to overcome the feeding problem. The development of water–energy–food (WEF) nexus management tools, and approaches has increased during last years. The aim of this research is to review WEF nexus management methods, tools, and examples to identify gaps, goals, or future development that arise when modelling goods management issues for designing a sustainable development framework. It is also presented the food–biofuel competition for resources problem focusing in threatened systems. In addition to the resource trade-off quantification issue, it proposed an analysis for WEF systems management from economic, environmental, and practical points of view with the aim of identifying results, challenges, gaps, or assumptions for nexus. The renewable energy highlights as an enabler for sustainable development.
