Progress is reported on two desalination projects in Saudi Arabia sponsored by a joint agreement of the Saline Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC) and the US Department of the Interior (USDI). Project A, research, development, and training center (R, D and T), conducts needs analyses and trains Saudi Arabians to operate and maintain desalination plants. Project B is developing the technology for large-scale multistage flash (MSF) evaporation plants. A recent change in focus is deemphasizing project B, but the Joint Agreement continues to make progress on its goals. The appendix presents a summary of the operation and projects and lists the major design features of the R, D and T Center. 1 reference, 1 table. (DCK)
