Dubai

Dubai has always been at the forefront of innovation, and their latest breakthrough in water technology is no exception. A plant in Dubai is now turning seawater into drinking water using the power of the sun. The device, located in waterways at Zayed Port and on Reem Island, is generating fresh water from the ocean without electricity. This breakthrough could revolutionize the way clean water and food are produced in the Arabian Peninsula.

Manhat, an Emirati-founded start-up, launched in 2019, is using proprietary natural water distillation technology to capture the evaporation of ocean water on the surface. By speeding up this natural process, the device is able to generate fresh water without using any electricity. This innovative solution not only provides clean drinking water to the people of Dubai, but it also has the potential to change the way crops are grown in the region.

Founder Dr Saeed Alhassan has plans to use this invention to build floating farms that use the fresh water collected to irrigate and grow crops right at the source. With the abundance of seawater surrounding Dubai, this technology has the potential to transform the agriculture industry in the region. It could also help combat food scarcity in areas where water resources are limited.

The technology used by Manhat is not only environmentally friendly but also sustainable. It does not require any external power source, and the device can be easily scaled up or down depending on the needs of the community. This innovation is a testament to the ingenuity of the Emirati people and their commitment to finding sustainable solutions to the world's most pressing problems.

The implications of this technology go beyond the borders of the UAE. With the looming threat of climate change and water scarcity affecting communities worldwide, this breakthrough in water technology has the potential to change the world. It could provide a sustainable source of clean drinking water and revolutionize the way crops are grown in regions with limited water resources.

The success of Manhat and their innovative technology highlights the importance of investment in sustainable solutions. By embracing renewable energy and technology, we can create a more sustainable future for ourselves and the generations to come. The UAE's commitment to innovation and sustainability is setting an example for the rest of the world to follow.
