“…A number of sea water desalination technologies have been developed during the last several decades to augment the supply of water in water-scarce regions of the world. However, due to the constraints of high desalination costs, many countries are unable to afford these technologies [7]. This technology is currently being used across Africa, e.g., in Libya [57][58][59] and Algeria [60][61][62], and would be a good investment for the Government of Kenya.…”

“…Together with land use change, a complex process affected by both natural processes and human activities [4] and climate variations, many of these factors are expected to undergo substantial changes in the near future [2]. This is bound to render freshwater availability in the future uncertain [5][6][7]. Water resources are therefore indisputably declining at an alarming rate all around the world [8].…”

“…The thermal ones may be obtained from a conventional fossil-fuel source, nuclear energy or from a non-conventional solar energy source or geothermal energy [27]. Multiple stage flashing constitutes the most established thermal technology [30]. Multiple effect distillation, vapor compression and electrodialysis are some of the desalination technologies used nowadays [3].…”
