Read the following passage excerpt: 'Desalination facilities across the Arabian Gulf supply over 80% of municipal freshwater needs. While thermal multi-stage flash (MSF) distillation historically dominated the region, seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) has emerged as the preferred technology due to its substantially lower energy consumption per cubic meter.' What is the main idea of this excerpt?

Seawater reverse osmosis is replacing thermal distillation as the primary desalination technology due to superior energy efficiency. Desalination provides only a small fraction of municipal water in the Gulf. Multi-stage flash distillation is the most modern and energy-efficient desalination method available. The Gulf region plans to completely abandon all desalination facilities.

Correct Answer:

Seawater reverse osmosis is replacing thermal distillation as the primary desalination technology due to superior energy efficiency.
