Brackish water, definition

At this stage no definite answer can be given about the date and required capacity, but it is generally accepted that by the end of the century, Israel will have to develop 500 to 700 million cubic meters of additional water capacity. Of this 100-200 million cubic meters would probably have to be supplied by desalting. At least a part of the required capacity will be obtained by desalting brackish waters which can not be used directly for agriculture. 

The inventory of all brackish water resources is not completed as yet, but the definite advantage of brackish water desalting over seawater desalting, makes it essential to carry out a comprehensive hydrological survey of brackish water potential in the country.

TfflS CHAPTER PROVIDES an overview of standard corrosion testing procedures for freshwater systems. Additional information is provided in Chapter 31—Freshwater. Freshwater can be defined simply as water that is not salty brackish water as defined by the dictionary is water having a somewhat salty taste. A more quantitative definition of brackish water is water with a salinity between 0.5 and 17 parts per thousand [/]. Then freshwater can be further defined as water with a salinity of less than 0.5 parts per thou-setnd. For the purposes of this chapter, ft shwater systems include potable water, heating/cooling, steam, condensate, rivers, streams, lakes, and wastewater.
