S6E4 - Can this Solve the World's Thirst?

Waves can desalinate water! About one out of five people living in the Mediterranean area suffer from constant water stress. That's representative of the challenge remote and decentralized places face in the new realm of water scarcity. At the same time, the World is urbanizing fast. By 2050, two-thirds of humanity will live in cities, and we will build the equivalent of New York City every month until then to cope with that revolution. As a consequence, remote areas will become even less of a priority when it comes to water production and management. So to help these communities, you need to solve the following equation. Find a way to desalinate water without large-scale investment and with as little energy impact as possible.  Impossible? Not if you leverage nature! Addressed right, waves can act as a fuel to pump water through a reverse osmosis process, whether directly or through an energy converter. And if several companies develop different variations of this concept, they all have two significant benefits in common.  They avoid the carbon emissions a diesel-powered alternative would have generated. And they reduce these remote areas' water stress. As you see, waves can desalinate water! 🎙️ PODCAST 🎙️ Website: https://dww.show/podcast/ Smartlink: https://smartlink.ausha.co/dont-waste-water 👋  SOCIAL MEDIA  👋  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/antoinewalter1/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dwwpodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/AntoineWalter7 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DontWasteWaterPodcastHosted on Ausha.
