China
Desal is not a significant priority in China today Industrial strategy is not developed South North Transfer will quietly fail By 2018 China could start building plants with a capacity of more than 1Mm3/d Befesa, IDE, Aqualyng, & Hyflux are well placed
India
Both Chennai and Mumbai have increased their desal programmes from 200,000m3/d to 400,000m3/d in the past month. Like China, the local industry is very much focused on the power sector. It is very EPC led. Like China, tariffs are a problem Financial models may evolve
Mining
There is currently 1.8 million m3/d of desal capacity on the drawing board in Chile, and 500,000m3/d proposed for Western Australia.

Market trends
Competition is horrible: you lose if you win, and you lose if you lose - expect some departures BOT continuing to take market share from public finance There is still a shortage of operators UF is spreading in pretreatment, but it is not the silver bullet New RO technologies Modern Water and NanoH2O - are making headway Any technology dependent on waste heat is not Have we seen the end of MSF?
Thank you
