Description
This data set list the distribution of microbial taxa from three sets of sampling campaigns from unit operations in two large desalination facilities in the US conducted between March and May 2021. The desalination plants include the Claude "Bud" Lewis Carlsbad Desalination Plant in Carlsbad, California and the Seater Desalination facility in Tampa Bay, Florida.
