High-Level Project Summary
Desalination uses reverse osmosis technology to separate water molecules from seawater. Water from the ocean is forced to pass through thousands of tightly packed semi-permeable membranes under remarkably high pressure. The membrane allows smaller water molecules to pass through, leaving behind salts and other impurities. So, in our project, we followed three steps to solve this issue. Pre-treatment, reserve osmosis, and conditioning, and surprisingly, earth does all this work all by herself without any help from humans since this is the "superpower " of earth

Detailed Project Description
What does Super power desalination do?
- The Water Authority has viewed seawater desalination as an important part of a diversified water supply Portfolio that also includes potable reuse, recycled water, groundwater, independent transfers.So, Seawater desalination is the removal of salt and impurities from seawater to produce fresh water.
How does it work?
-Seawater desalination is the removal of salt and impurities from seawater to produce fresh water. Our desalination plants use a reverse osmosis process. Seawater is pumped into the desalination plant from the ocean and passes through pre-treatment filtration to remove most of the large and small particles.
The filtered seawater is then forced under pressure through special membranes whereby the osmosis process that normally occurs in nature is reversed. The pores in the membranes are so tiny that salt, bacteria, viruses and other impurities are separated from the seawater. In essence they act like microscopic strainers. About half of the water that enters the plant from the sea becomes fresh drinking water. The salt and other impurities removed from the sea water is then returned to the ocean via diffusers, which ensures it mixes quickly and prevents impacted the marine environment.
What we hope?
-At this stage there is no firm timeframe for building a new desalination plant for Perth’s Integrated Water Supply Scheme. The timing depends on annual rainfall and how fast our climate continues to dry, how much water we use each year and population growth.

Hackathon Journey
We gained more skills. we learned time management. We chose this challenge as it is the most revelation to our minds. We develop this project as we find few people are interested in this issue
