Good idea of systems thinking and using existing technology. Good presentation.
Proposal is not significantly updated since the last round. Feasibility focused too much on-site specific conditions.

The issue of energy use in water treatment and its reduction are obviously important and broadly appreciated. Furthermore, as we move forward the challenge of climate change will only amplify the scale of the issue. This idea addresses that space. The proposal is clear, concise, well written and presented as well as a good idea of systems thinking and using existing technology.
The proposal should elaborate on how much water could actually be produced this way. In addition, it should analyze the potential reduction in the costs of water desalination/treatment. The electricity can be used to provide power to any kind of infrastructure. Hence, it is unclear on why the focus on desalination plants. It is unclear why you need the colocation instead of generating the power. It would help if the novel components were highlighted - energy generation from wastewater plants in not a new topic.
