Environmental groups and residents are expressing concerns about a proposed facility. The process of producing fresh water also generates a byproduct that is discharged back into the water, which is a key part of the debate. A company called EPCOR is developing the project, which would provide water for a large population.

The company claims it would offer a reliable water source during droughts. However, not everyone agrees that the benefits are worth the potential risks. Further details about the proposal and the concerns surrounding it are available from the source.
