The Freshwater Factory Skyscraper recieved a special mention at the 2010 eVolo Skyscraper Competition.
It was designed by the Design Crew for Architecture.
The tower is made of circular tanks filled with brackish water. These tanks are sheltered in spherical greenhouses. Tidal powered pumps bring the water up the structure. The structure would create its own fresh water to be used for irigation on surrounding arable land.
