Water stress and scarcity currently affect half of the world’s population and nearly one-third of the world’s largest groundwater systems are already in distress.
Water scarcity is one of the most pressing challenges facing the world today. According to the United Nations, more than 2 billion people lack access to safe drinking water, and the demand for water is expected to grow by 30% by 2050. As climate change exacerbates droughts and other water-related challenges, the need for innovative solutions becomes increasingly urgent. One potential solution is desalination, the process of removing salt and other minerals from seawater to make it drinkable.
IONIC Water Technologies is engaged in developing innovative water purification and desalination technologies that will enable safe drinking and agricultural water access for the developed and developing world. Addressing natural or industrial sources of water, our technology offers lower cost, less system complexity, smaller footprint systems, that also enable less energy use and sustainable energy sources.

Desalination is not a new technology, but it has traditionally been expensive and energy-intensive, making it impractical for widespread use. However, as the cost of renewable energy continues to decline, desalination is becoming more affordable and accessible. In fact, many countries, particularly in the Middle East and North Africa, have already embraced desalination as a key part of their water supply strategy. Desalination can provide a reliable source of water in areas that are vulnerable to drought and other water-related challenges.
IONIC Water Technologies is a private company headquartered in the US. The Ionic leadership team has deep technology R&D and commercialization experience. The founders have 15 years experience developing battery technology from lab to scaled manufacturing to a public company with sales to some of the largest global utilities.
Desalination has the potential to be a powerful tool in addressing this challenge, but it must be approached in a sustainable and thoughtful manner. By integrating desalination with other water management strategies, addressing environmental concerns, and building public support, it is possible to ensure that desalination plays a key role in securing safe and reliable water supplies for the future.
