Abstract Details

2006, MCP, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning : Community Planning.
The islands of Santorini, Greece, experience a shortage in sustainable water supply due to an arid climate and tourist economy. Current conditions include saltwater intrusion in groundwater, reliance on imported water for drinking, a lack of widespread seawater desalination, inequitable pricing, and decreasing use of rainwater harvesting. Santorini has a sustainable water supply estimated at just over 1 million m3/year and an estimated demand of 2.4 million m3/year, leaving a deficit of 1.4 million m3/year produce in a sustainable manner. A large implementation of reverse osmosis seawater desalination can provide for Santorini a more sustainable supply. Two scenarios for implementation are presented, both with an additional capacity of 1.8 million m3/year, installation of storage tanks for backup supply, and a suitable pricing system. The second of these would also use wind energy and an advanced desalination technology that also produces salt to lower environmental impact.
