Saudi Crown Prince swoops desalination plants out from under water-tapped Marin – Saudi Arabia The Marin Municipal Water District is considering leasing three desalination plants to augment its dwindling water supply, with reservoir levels so low right now, they might dry up by next summer. But the district faces an unlikely competitor for the water sources – the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia wants the very same plants. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman wants to buy the three plants for an otherworldly project he announced this past January. (LINK). HIWI042021-09-23T13:18:04+02:00
