This paper aims to establish appropriate guidelines for the mineral content of potable water produced by desalination. The inadequacy of such specifications has lead to a number of conflicting interpretations of contract documents or to a product which was not optimal from an economic or eonsumer point of view. An optimal choice under both these constraints can only be made through the evaluation and comparison of feasible alternatives of plant and mineral combinations.
