On the contrary, the professor contradicts this and contends that this approach reqiuire specific pipelines or canals. The lecturer adds thate local government does n ot have resources to pay for it. Moreover, the speaker points out that the distance to the ocean is one hundred kilometer away, so it will be very expensive solution.
