This can be highlighted by the introduction of sea-water desalination technology in the 1980’s, and the continued improvement of the operational…

AquaCycle aims to address the present situation of water scarcity in the southern Mediterranean region, with a mission to change the present model of wastewater reuse, and of imposing an eco-innovative technology (including anaerobic digestion, constructed wetland, solar treatment). This technology has a low cost of operation and maintenance as it uses less chemicals, runs on renewable energy, produces biogas and fertiliser, and the constructed wetland will thrive as an ecological tourist attraction, aside from being a climate-change mitigation measure.…
