Water supplies can blend multiple water resources to meet one or more goals. In practice,
the blend ratio often reflects the available water resources rather than an integrated
assessment of the resource, its quality and the application of the water. In the search for
new resources, desalination is often mentioned as a viable option. Desalinating water can
provide product water dramatically different from water of conventional treatment
methods. This is especially true in water supply systems delivering water of high salinity
and hardness.
Copenhagen City, Denmark, (pop. 0.5 million) is currently supplied with relatively hard
and saline water, with hardness and TDS levels around 370 mg (as CaCO<sub>3</sub>)/l and 560
mg/l, respectively. This study describes possible consequences of diluting the water
supplied to Copenhagen City with desalinated water. Includes 8 references, table, figure.
