It also looks to help raiselocal people’s awareness and capacity of managing and using the WbW model andwater resources.

Notably,this model can easily access and move to areas with different salinity levelsto provide freshwater in case of emergencies. Besides, its operation andmaintenance are simple, cost-saving, and completely renewably energised, and can also contribute to the local power grid, he added.
