Mission Statement

The mission of the Coalition is to meet the growing need in the United States for safe, sustainable, adequate and affordable water supplies, the Multi-State Salinity Coalition (MSSC) promotes advancements in desalination-related technologies, salinity control strategies and associated policies as stated in the Articles of Incorporation.

The goal of the MSSC is to effectively foster communication and dialogue on related desalination and salinity management-related policy matters through quarterly meetings, correspondence, and the development, sponsorship and presentation of an annual national desalination and salinity management summit for local, regional, and national leaders. The MSSC believes that collaborative efforts among water providers, state agencies, federal agencies, research organizations, congressional leaders and private industry are essential in pursuit of common educational interests as stated in the Articles of Incorporation.

The MSSC is not, nor is it intended to be, a substitute for local government. It is, however, an organization through which its individual members can work on salinity management and desalination issues and coordinate their efforts.
