has gloss | eng: The Seawater Greenhouse is a technology for creating fresh water from seawater in arid regions, using an adapted greenhouse that also provides suitable food-growing conditions. The technique involves pumping seawater (or allowing it to gravitate if below sea level) to an arid location and then subjecting it to two processes: first, it is used to humidify and cool the air inside a greenhouse, and second, it is evaporated by solar heating and distilled to produce fresh water. Finally, the humidified air is expelled from the greenhouse and used to improve growing conditions for nearby outdoor plants. The technology is being developed by the UK company Seawater Greenhouse. Slightly more concentrated, residual sea water then gravitates, (or is pumped if below sea level) back to the sea and some of the pumping energy can be recovered in turbines. |

has gloss | deu: Das Seawater Greenhouse (engl. für Meerwassergewächshaus) ist ein Gewächshaus, das eine Meerwasserentsalzungsanlage enthält und dessen Wasserbedarf daher mit Salzwasser gedeckt werden kann, womit es vor allem für aride, wasserarme Regionen geeignet ist. Damit wird im Gewächshaus der natürliche Wasserkreislauf in einem kleinen Maßstab nachgebildet. |
