Optimization of the negative impact of power and desalination plants on the ecosystem

Ahmed Areiqat, +1 more
- 01 Nov 2005 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the negative impact of the desalination plants and how it can be minimized to keep the marine life and the ecological environment in a good condition is discussed. But, the authors do not consider the effect of the effluent discharges from the plant back to the sea.
