Abstract: 
The abstract concisely overviews the research paper "Review of Innovative Approaches in Water Infrastructure: Sustainable Desalination and Public-Private Partnerships." This comprehensive review explores integrating sustainable desalination technologies within Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) to address global water scarcity challenges. Examining advancements in reverse osmosis, solar desalination, and forward osmosis, the paper evaluates their environmental, social, and economic implications. It underscores the significance of PPPs in financing and implementing large-scale projects. Future trends, including technological innovations and climate-resilient strategies, are explored. The findings emphasize the need for inclusive governance, knowledge sharing, and adaptive policies to ensure the success of integrated desalination PPPs in fostering sustainable water infrastructure.
