Desalination of Red Sea water
using Reverse Osmosis process in natural protected and Touristic
areas considering especially the feed and discharge of the
process.
For many years, the water supply
at Red Sea for Domestic & Touristic purpose has depended upon
supply by trucks from wells far away.
The need to meet water demand
