AB The article discusses the process of seawater collection through boreholes for the operation of desalination plants. Seawater collection is essential for desalination, and it must have a specific electricalconductivity of around 50,000 µΩ/cm, with an appropriate temperature of 25 ºC. The article describesthe characteristics of the borehole, such as the diameter, suction surface, and casing, as well as the depthat which the seawater is collected. The drilling techniques for boreholes are also mentioned, whichinclude percussion and rotopercussion machinery. Finally, the article explains the Ghyben-Herzbergformula for determining the hydrostatic equilibrium between freshwater and saltwater, which is used todetermine the depth of the interface with respect to sea level.
