His Highness Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Deputy Ruler of Sharjah and President of the University of Sharjah, visited a new science project at the university. This project is about making fresh water from salty water using the power of the sun. The university is working on this idea with the Sharjah Electricity, Water, and Gas Authority (SEWA).

The project will help turn different types of salty water into clean water. It will work for water from the ground, seawater, and even very salty water. This idea is part of the university’s plan to solve big problems using science. The goal is to find new ways to make life better for people while keeping nature safe.

During his visit, His Highness learned more about how this project will help. Clean water is very important for the UAE and many other places in the world. This new idea will use the sun’s power to clean water instead of using too much fuel. This will make the process cheaper and better for the environment.

The project also helps the country’s science growth. Scientists and experts will work on new ways to clean water. This will help people and businesses in the UAE. It will also help areas where clean water is hard to find.

His Highness was told how the system works. A big part of the project is a special filter called a reverse osmosis (RO) membrane. This filter helps keep more fresh water while reducing waste. The project also plans to use Sharjah’s special water map, called the Sharjah Atlas. This map helps experts understand where water is and how to clean it better.

The project will use a satellite called Sharjah Sat 2 to study water quality. Scientists will collect water samples and check them using data from space. This will help them make the best use of the new system.

One big aim of this project is to protect the environment. Many water cleaning systems today use a lot of energy and create waste that harms sea life. This new system will use less energy because it runs on solar power. It will also create less waste, making it safer for the ocean and the land.

This project is an important step in solving water problems in a smart and clean way. The University of Sharjah and SEWA are working together to build a system that can help other places in the future.

His Highness praised the researchers and their hard work. He also said the university will keep supporting smart ideas that help people. This project shows Sharjah’s strong commitment to new ideas and caring for nature.
