The number of people on Earth is on the rise and so too is the demand for freshwater. Freshwater is the water we drink, use, and interact with in our everyday lives. And the difficult part to accept — there’s not enough fresh water for all of us. In fact, only around 3 percent of all the water on Earth is freshwater. The vast majority of this freshwater is trapped in glaciers and ice, frozen and not available for drinking. So we need to invent cool new ways to create freshwater from sources like seawater.
Saltwater is, for the most part, seawater, which makes it a huge source of water for our planet. But it is extremely salty and unsafe for us to consume. Salty water can make us sick if we drink it. That is where something called desalination comes into play — a process that removes the salt from seawater to make it safe and clean to drink and use in other ways.
SIHE is a water cleaning and treatment company. They created a technology that helps convert seawater into clean drinking water. SIHE’s desalination plant employs reverse osmosis. This process involves pushing seawater through specialized filters that remove the salt and other contaminants that make the water undrinkable. The result is clean, potable water that is considered safe for drinking. This indicates that it is not just clean; it is also safe to use.
In many parts of the world there are locations where there is a serious lack of water. Drylands and desert regions may be more sensitive to growing water deficits. These are places unable to secure sufficient water for drinking, farming and other uses. But we can also do this at a larger scale, around the world: we can desalinate seawater —get more freshwater from the ocean.
INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY: SIHE: Desalination Technology That Is Environmentally Friendly It consumes very little energy (so is efficient), and doesn’t generate significant waste. Related FeaturesThe desalination plant is powered by solar panels and wind turbines. This helps you cut the pollution and in turn, make it more sustainable. Moreso, the waste from desalination can be recycled or reused, more sustainable for the planet.
With the growing demand for freshwater, desalination will increasingly play a crucial role in managing our water supply. SIHE technology is already helping many people access clean drinking water and water for crop irrigation across the globe.
Desalination technology might even be deployed in other industrial contexts, helping meet water needs in factories or mines. As technology progresses, the cost of desalinating seawater should drop. This will allow more individuals and businesses to attain the freshwater required in one place which will eventually lead less hardworking for everyone to reach the clean water.
