Seawater desalination is a viable alternative for Coastal communities. Use of low angled wells (slant wells) produce ground water from near shore and offshore aquifer systems and provides a number of potential advantages over open ocean intake systems. The aquifer system provides natural filtration from suspended organic matter and sediment eliminating the need for pretreatment.
