Desalination Plant Innovation and Improvements of Arecibo Tourism

Abstract

The Desalination Plant Innovation and Improvements of Arecibo Tourism is an eco-friendly project at Arecibo, Puerto Rico developed by FAJJEX Engineering as part of the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department Course CE-4920 Civil Engineering Design Project II. The project consists of a water desalination plant, private villas, and a water park that will all work together to create an eco-friendly complex. The private villas and water desalination plant will be completely powered by solar energy. In addition to supplying both projects, the water desalination plant will supply 9 MGD to the “Super Acueducto” water distribution plant. This will benefit part of the north region of Puerto Rico especially in times of rationing of water caused by drought.
