Solar Dome Desalination Plant for Saudi Arabia Coming Soon – Saudi Arabia Access to clean, potable water has always been a problem in countries like Saudi Arabia. The climate and surrounding desert make it nearly impossible to locate overland sources of freshwater. The Gulf of Arabia’s seawater would provide a ready supply, but the desalination process would be both costly and consume large volumes of energy, making it untenable. British startup Solar Water believes it has a solution. By employing a dome that harnesses solar power to perform desalination, it thinks it […] Solar Dome Desalination Plant for Saudi Arabia Coming Soon – Saudi ArabiaDME GmbH2020-02-04T21:46:00+01:00
