Securing Water for Food, the Desal Prize aims to incentivize the creation of an environmentally sustainable small-scale brackish water desalination system that can provide potable water for humans, as well as water appropriate for crops in developing countries.

The winning innovation will be selected based on its fulfillment of several criteria, including:

- Provides water that is both potable and appropriate for crop irrigation
- Powered solely by renewable energy
- High system water % recovery and concentrate minimization
- Minimizes environmental impact
- And is cost efficient, durable, and easy to maintain

With the Desal Prize we are seeking small-scale, household farming level brackish water desalination systems that can efficiently and reliably provide desalinated water for human consumption and agriculture purposes.
