The cost of desalination varies widely depending on the technology used, the scale of the facility, and local conditions, but it typically ranges from $0.50 to $3.00 per gallon. Reverse osmosis, the most common method, generally falls within this range. In some regions, costs can be higher due to energy expenses and infrastructure requirements. Overall, advancements in technology and economies of scale are helping to reduce these costs over time.

it varies by location Luap
high cost and where to dispose the salt left over
Depending on the size of the desalination plant and where it is being built it can cost Millions of Dollars to buid but seem to produce very clean water for between US$0.49 and US0.53 per cubic meter. The costs are coming down, the quality is going up and the choises available are getting wider.
desaltination plants cost alot of money to both run and build. It can cost up to millions, maybe even billions of dollars.
it depends on where you are and how you do it.
If gallon of paint costs $20.74 per gallon its cost per liter is about $5.48
4.00 per gallon
$0.90 cents per gallon
what is the cost per gallon for desalinated sea water
It cost $1.34 per gallon.
$2.48 per gallon
$3.50-$4.00 per gallon
$ 1 per cubic meter
Divide cost per gallon by the miles per gallon to receive cost per mile. Take the result and multiply the miles to travel by the cost per mile to receive the total cost for the trip. Example: $3.55 cost per gallon/18 mpg= .1922 cents per mile X 1200 miles = $236.66 cost of trip.
Cost of course depends on capacity and desalination method. Shoaiba Desalination Plant, Saudi Arabia, uses MSF Flash technology with a total output capcity of 128 million gallons per day. Cost 1.6 billion $US.
1,617 miles at 10 mpg will cost about $565.95 at $3.50 per gallon.
