Marine Freshwater Springs Identification

Project Name:

Marine Freshwater Springs Identification

Client:

Ministry of Energy.

Ground water is a finite resource in the United Arab Emirates and the wider Gulf region, and is required to support a growing population. Reliance on desalinated water has impacts on the marine environment due to increasing hyper-salinity in the Arabian Gulf. The Ministry of Energy UAE has awarded this pilot project to identify submarine freshwater springs via remote sensing methods.
