    The greenhouse has an area of 864 m 2 and has a daily water production of 1 m 3, which nearly meets the crop's irrigation demand. [1] The third pilot seawater greenhouse, which is 864 m 2, is near Muscat in Oman which produces 0.3 to 0.6 m 3 of freshwater per day. This project was created as a collaboration between Sultan Qaboos University.
