The construction of marine catchments to supply the volume of water needed for drinking and industrial use on the coastlines is regarded to be extremely vital in recent years due to the development of industries and current water demands. Thermal power plants, industrial cooling circuits, and desalination facilities make use of these buildings. Consequently, the following are the most frequent reasons for extracting water from the sea:
- Using in cooling systems (refineries, thermal power plants, etc.)
- Purification in water desalination systems
- Using in firefighting systems
Water intake systems are used for this. Water intakes are used for water harvesting in two different ways: directly (open intakes) and indirectly (subsurface intakes). Some instances of the direct ways are the use of pipelines, protected areas with breakwaters, and tunnels for water intake with PAMs situated on the pier. The use of wells or absorption systems is also an example of indirect methods of seawater intake. The most significant strides in this direction have been made in the last ten years by Oceans Research Co., which has specialists and engineers with more than twenty years of expertise in field studies and numerical simulations of the water intake structure and its equipment, as follows:
