The success of this project is attributed to working with reliable and experienced partners and demonstrates once again that seawater desalination is a proven, sustainable source of fresh water. And, at 52 cents per cubic meter, the plant is a testament to how advances in RO membrane technology have enabled the production of quality drinking water from seawater more affordable and energy efficient.
Searches for intelligent design of the Universe through the Plotinan Criterion would be futile I would think, because the creation is an indirect radiation or product of The One.
