Abu Dhabi: The
Environment Agency of Abu Dhabi (EAD) is testing a new system to
desalinate sea water using solar energy.
The trials are being conducted at 30 locations across the Emirate
of Abu Dhabi.
The new solar desalination techniques is a zero-carbon process
which helps reduce cost of water treatment, especially in desert
areas where dust and high temperatures impair the efficiency of
solar panels used in the existing desalination system.
"The experimental solar-powered desalination facilities put in
Hameem and Sweihan show us that we can reduce the negative impact
of water desalination on the environment as well as help to reduce
the cost of water production," the agency said in a statement.
