Dubai's Breakthrough in Water Technology: Turning Seawater into Drinking Water Using the Power of the Sun
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 fre...
