ABSTRACT This article explores an innovative and economical greenhouse technique that utilizes solar radiation and wind to simulate an artificial hydrologic cycle for harvesting pure water and minerals from seawater. The method employs simple and sustainable technology to evaporate seawater, condense the vapor into pure water, and collect precipitated minerals for further processing. Compared to conventional desalination plants, this approach offers a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution for addressing global water and mineral needs. The article outlines the methodology, theoretical foundation, financial analysis, and schematic design of this technique. INTRODUCTION…
