A renewable-energy “oasis” which is a part of the Sahara Foundation project intended to be built in 2010 will serve as a proving ground for new technologies designed to bring green living to the desert.
The project is all about to build an artificial Oasis in the desert by converting sea water into fresh water, using combination of renewable energy source.
For instance, special greenhouses would use hot desert air and seawater make fresh water for growing crops, solar energy would be collected to generate power, and algae pools would offer a renewable and easily transportable fuel supply.In addition, planting trees near the complex would trap atmospheric greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide while restoring any natural forest cover that has been lost to drought and timber harvesting.
The planned research center, shown above in an artist’s conception, is part of the Sahara Forest Project—the center would be a small-scale version of massive green complexes that project managers hope to build in deserts around the globe.
These complexes could create food, fresh water, biofuels, and clean electricity while also offering local green employment opportunities, organizers say.

As if those are not bad enough, now a chance of deadly dehydration are quite threatening millions quake victims, especially in Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti.
