Desalination discharge in shallow coastal waters

For the design of a desalination plant, the intake and outfall structures need to be properly addressed. From an environmental viewpoint, it is important to design a brine outfall so that the discharge plume can be mixed rapidly with the ambient coastal waters. Previous studies have suggest...
