Island nations like Seychelles and Maldives depend on seawater desalination to meet drinking water needs due to a lack of freshwater resources. The Seychelles Public Utilities Corporation serves over 80,000 residents and up to 200,000 visitors through four waterworks.

In the Maldives, the Malé Water & Sewerage Company provides clean drinking water to around 100,000 residents and many tourists in the capital city, Malé. Both nations face challenges of growing demand and the necessity for sustainable infrastructure.
