Abstract
In arid countries like Tunisia, the need to find new sources of water for irrigation has become imminent. Desalination of seawater can be an alternative to irrigation. In this article, we take a look at the leading food companies specializing in desalination for irrigation around the world and the prospects for the solar energy desalination potential for irrigation in Tunisia. We have noticed that several companies invest money to desalinate water for agricultural purposes. However, the cost of a cubic meter of water sometimes remains high to go forward in this new technology.
期刊介绍：
La Houille Blanche, revue internationale de l ''eau/International Water Journal, is the only almost all French-written journal of Water science.
It promotes the dissemination of research and innovative practices in the field of water, as a key resource for everyday use for human needs, agriculture, energy and transport, and hydraulic public works. This includes environmental and risk assessment and management issues related to hydrology, meteorology, flood, low flows and drought, as well as issues in the field of fluid mechanics, hydraulics machinery, multiphase flows, microfluidics...
La Houille Blanche, International Water Journal, is cited by Science Citation Index Expanded of Institute for Scientific Information (I.S.I) in USA, and by CNRS in France; since 1902, the journal publishes high-standard relevant peer-reviewed research papers.
La Houille Blanche also provides more general information and recent news about the water world, and the SHF association and its members life: scientific events, book review, R & D advancements, …
Six issues per year. Thematical journal for original articles and reviews mostly in French.
