Did you know that experts estimate that many cities around the world may run out of usable water by the year 2040?
As a result of climate change, we will be confronted with a severe water shortage in the coming years, and this is not a laughing matter.
You’d think getting water would be simple. After all, water covers approximately 71 percent of the Earth’s surface.
However, only about 3 percent of that water is drinkable, and it is frequently not where it should be. When we look for clean water sources, it becomes painfully clear that seawater is not the same as freshwater.
This is where desalination comes into play. If we can make this technology viable and affordable, we may be able to solve the problem of water scarcity. This is where engineering and science must work their magic to develop desalination methods that work and, hopefully, are inexpensive.
Desalination technologies are already in use in a number of different applications. Each, on the other hand, has its own set of disadvantages. Just what precisely are these desalination technologies? How viable and cost-effective do they appear to be? What can be done to improve them? What cutting-edge desalination technologies are currently being researched and developed? And, at the end of the day, what might be able to save us from a water shortage?
This video provides answers to all of your questions!
