	Wind energy installation comprising a seawater or brackish water desalination plant - Patent 7029576
		The wind energy plant according to claim 1, wherein the salt or brackish water is introduced and held in a water reservoir located at a base section of the tower bottom portion.
		By means of a rotary passage 26, the sea or brackish water 44 is fed into the storage tank 27 and supplied by means of valve 31 to the pressure pump 20 in the rotary gondola 22.
		Parallel to the untreated water lifting pipe 54 is located the waste water pipe 56 which returns the salt water concentrate and filter sludge from the filter unit 36 to the sea or brackish water 44.

	The Brackish Water Aquarium
		Water molecules are small enough to pass through the membrane of cell walls; larger salt molecules are not.
		Many brackish water fish species commonly kept in aquaria are, to a greater or lesser degree, herbivorous and can do untold damage to a well-planted tank.
		Generally, the shopkeeper can probably advise you on which species are brackish which are not and, as with fresh water and marine fish, knowing the water conditions to which the fish are acclimatised in his or her tank is important.

	What is Brackish Water?
		Brackish water is water that is saltier than fresh water, but not as salty as sea water.
		As a result, many brackish water fishes are tolerant of changes in salinity, and in fact many positively benefit from similar periodic changes in aquaria.
		The term brackish water derives from the Middle Low German word brackwater or possibly the Dutch word brakwater, which is the water of a brack.

	Brackish Water Catfish
		He is the brackish water 'expert' in Practical Fishkeeping Magazine, and has been maintaining a popular FAQ on the topic for over 10 years.
		Catfish adapted to soft water habitats, for example, are indeed unlikely to to do well in a brackish water aquarium, but the same holds true for all the other soft water aquarium fish, such as barbs, tetras, loaches, gouramis, and so on.
		Of course the main problem with using this species in the brackish water aquarium is that while the name Hypostomus plecostomus is commonly used in aquarium books and magazines to refer to the standard issue, common or garden plec, it is hardly ever the species available for sale.

	Keeping brackish aquarium
		Secondly, the brackish water aquarium is essentially a marine tank in terms of hardware and maintenance, and many (but not quite all) brackish water fish can adapt readily to marine conditions.
		The brackish water aquarium is more forgiving than a marine or reef tank, making it an ideal stepping stone for someone who wants to keep a marine aquarium but hasn’t any experience of keeping fishes at all.
		Obviously the best fish for a brackish water aquarium are fish that naturally come from brackish water, but it often happens that an aquarist wants to mix some brackish water species into a regular community tank (or vice versa).

	Brackish Water Aquariums: Ideal Fish and Plant Species
		Despite their mystique, brackish aquariums are fairly easy to maintain since brackish inhabitants are conditioned to the moderate fluctuations in water parameters due to the normal tidal cycles.
		Brackish habitats can be found in nature throughout the world where river deltas meet the ocean… estuaries, mangrove forests, or swamps.
		In a brackish habitat, salinity varies depending on the tide, the amount of freshwater entering from rivers or as rain, and the rate of evaporation.

		Water temperature should be maintained between 24 - 30°C, pH 7.8 - 8.4 and like any other aquariums, levels of ammonia, nitrite and nitrate should be kept to a minimum.
		Brackish water conditions can be obtained by mixing freshwater with saltwater at a ratio of 3:1.
		Brackish fish do best in water with a salinity of 1.015, or one to two teaspoons of salt per gallon, and a pH of 7.5 or higher.

	The Brackish Water Aquarium
		Brackish water needs to be hard, alkaline, and contain about 10% to 50% the salt of normal seawater.
		Brackish water is typically maintained at a specific gravity of 1.003 to 1.010, depending on the species being kept.
		Brackish water does not suit the majority of aquarium plants, so it is easiest to rely on rocks, bogwood, and sea shells for decoration.

		The term "Brackish" refers to water found in regions such as estuaries and river mouths, ie, that is a mix of fresh and salt water.
		Brackish water fish occur in coastal areas around the world, but most of the readily available brackish water fish are from coastal waterways and oceans around the Northern parts of Australia (some of these are also found elsewhere).
		Brackish water fish are somewhat sensitive to nitrite, the addition of salt lessens nitrite toxicity.

		Water stored underground may be thousands of years old or only days old, it depends on the depth of the aquifer.
		As a result of these concerns about the water availability and levels of salinity in the El Paso area, groundwater flow models are being used as a tool to predict how aquifers might respond to pumping and to better understand the complex interaction between the fresh and brackish water.
		Water levels in the aquifer remain relatively constant with fluctuations being primarily in response to flows in the Rio Grande and irrigation canals and drains.

	:: El Paso Water Utilities - Public Service Board \| Desalination Plant ::
		Water from the Rio Grande is only available during the spring, summer and early fall months and is further limited in years of drought.
		However, knowing that additional fresh water sources would be needed, El Paso Water Utilities began exploring the idea of desalinating the brackish water in the bolsons in the early 1990s.
		Hydrogeological studies were needed to determine the flow of the brackish water in the Hueco Bolson.

		Water from the Capitan Reef also is under consideration.
		While the industrial sources are being studied for the volumes they offer and how difficult and costly it would be to desalinize the water for use in FutureGen, Trentham said another determination will be the choice of where to place FutureGen and how far from the water source it is.
