Water scarcity is a critical global challenge, with increasing populations, industrial demands, and climate change exacerbating the issue. Desalination—the process of removing salts and other impurities from seawater or brackish water—has emerged as a vital solution to address this scarcity, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions. 

 

However, desalination is an energy-intensive and complex process that requires careful management to ensure efficiency, sustainability, and economic viability. Artificial Intelligence usage in Desalination plants

 

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming various industries by offering advanced data analytics, predictive capabilities, optimization, and intelligent automation. 

 

The integration of AI into desalination plants presents significant opportunities to improve operational efficiency, reduce energy consumption, extend equipment life, and ensure water quality. This paper explores in detail the applications, benefits, challenges, and future prospects of using AI in desalination plants.
