Marine water fish farms
Marine water source utilization
Salt-water wells often must be drilled very deep to reach below freshwater aquifers. Typically the deeper the well, the more expensive will be the construction and pumping costs. Also, the deeper one drills, the warmer the water. Cooling may be required before use if the well water has too high a temperature. If the system appears to be economical, salt-water wells have all of the same advantages as fresh groundwater. Where salt water is required, salt-water wells reduce system complexity and costs by reducing the need for treatment. A disadvantage of salt water wells is that site conditions and geology often produce unfavourable groundwater quality. Last modified: Wednesday, 27 April 2011, 9:15 AM
