β¦ Synopsis
If reuse of water is being considered in an area where seawater desalination will be used to produce the basic water source, overall water resource development costs should be considered before selection of the basic desalination process, In cases where the system's wastewater is treated and used for artificial ground-water recharge and recovery, there are inherent benefits in utilizing a thermal rather than a membrane process to produce the basic water source from seawater.

Recent studies of MSF and RO desalination combined with power generation have shown that selection of the desalina=ion process is strongly influenced by both the choice of power plant cycle and the fuel cost. This Paper examines the economics of MSF coupled to gas turbine or back pressure steam turb
