Long, refreshing showers on hot summer days are blissful, and being deprived of such pleasures might seem like cruel punishment. However, we should be aware that climate change is a global problem, and not just an issue for developing countries. The harsh wake up call came at the beginning of this year when a three-year drought threatened millions of residents of Cape Town, South Africa, with no water. And the prognosis for the rest of the world isn\u2019t reassuring, either: it\u2019s expected that half of the world\u2019s population will face a water shortage by 2030, the WHO <a href=\"http:\/\/www.who.int\/en\/news-room\/fact-sheets\/detail\/drinking-water\">warns<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Poop-to-water systems and other radical tech could offer solutions to the worldwide water crisis\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YS6edphg8aQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Water restrictions and conscious water consumption might help, but, unfortunately, these aren\u2019t permanent solutions. And tech like desalination might be a viable solution to water scarcity, but it\u2019s costly, time-consuming, and complex, and it doesn\u2019t provide an answer to the burning question of where to get more clean water. Science and technology are, however, working round the clock to find alternative solutions, some of which are jaw-droppingly \u2018out there\u2019.<\/p>\n<h2>Fog might be a great renewable freshwater source<\/h2>\n<p>For those who live in arid regions such as the Sidi Ifni region of Morocco, an area plagued by drought, water scarcity is a common issue. In the village of Taloust, climate change and growing population pressures have led to unpredictable rainfall and a lack of clean water. Even worse, cycles of severe drought and flash floods have decimated the area in recent years, and since it borders the Sahara desert, desertification poses a major threat as well. But Sidi Ifni has a hidden resource that can help mitigate local water scarcity. Due to its unique microclimate and its proximity to ocean currents, humid air from the coast meets the Anti-Atlas Mountains and turns into a thick, water-rich fog, especially between December and June.<\/p>\n<p>Dar Si Hmad, a non-profit organisation, wanted to harness this precious natural resource. And over the course of 10 years, it put up about 600 square metres of mesh nets that capture water particles from the fog at an altitude of 1,225m on Mount Boutmezguida. Every day, they can condense as much as 6,300 litres of filtered water, and thanks to a system of pipes, deliver this to roughly 400 people in five villages. And though this might seem like a small-scale solution, it\u2019s cost-effective and efficient, and can benefit dry rural areas with a similar climate.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30528\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30528\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-30528 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.richardvanhooijdonk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/05\/fog_netsjkjk.jpg\" alt=\"Mesh screens capture air moisture Mount Boutmezguida\" width=\"800\" height=\"472\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30528\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mesh nets that capture water particles from the fog at an altitude of 1,225m on Mount Boutmezguida.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Powerful personal water filtration system purifies water on the go<\/h2>\n<p>Another promising invention is the compact, high-performance Sawyer Mini Water Filtration System, a personal purification system with the power to filter more than <a href=\"https:\/\/tech.co\/technologies-solve-global-water-crisis-2018-02\">378 thousand litres<\/a> of water during its lifecycle. This means it can last a lifetime. It\u2019s ideal for outdoor activities such as camping or hiking but also for international travel and emergency preparedness. A reusable squeeze pouch that comes with it can collect about half a litre of germ- and bacteria-free water. The flow rate is relatively quick, so the water is clean and ready to drink as it goes through the filter.<\/p>\n<p>The tech behind it <a href=\"https:\/\/sawyer.com\/products\/mini-filter\/\">relies<\/a> on a network \u201cof tiny \u2018U\u2019 shaped hollow fiber micro-tubes that trap contaminants while allowing decontaminated water to freely pass through at a high flow rate \u2014 eliminating the need to store water and reducing the possibility of water contamination after the filtration process\u201d. These tubes are too tiny for harmful bacteria such as <em>E. coli<\/em>, <em>Vibrio cholerae<\/em>, and <em>Salmonella typhi<\/em> to pass through, providing hope for those who don\u2019t have access to clean water. And that\u2019s a serious global issue: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.who.int\/en\/news-room\/fact-sheets\/detail\/drinking-water\">according to<\/a> the WHO, \u201cat least 2 billion people use a drinking water source contaminated with faeces\u201d, causing diseases with often deadly outcomes, especially in people with an already compromised immune system.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Sawyer Mini Water Filter\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iUsdx0UC2uU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Super-machine turns human faeces into crisp, fresh water<\/h2>\n<p>Drinking water that\u2019s contaminated with faeces is far more common globally than you might think, and it\u2019s too disgusting to even consider. But for billions of people, that\u2019s a daily reality. Janicki Bioenergy knows this, and though the water coming from its machine isn\u2019t exactly Perrier, it\u2019s no less tasty.<\/p>\n<p>Though originally developed as a sanitation system to be used in cities, the Janicki Omni Processor is a super-machine that turns faecal material into water and ash. The process behind it is complex and encompasses three phases. First, wet waste streams enter a dryer that causes \u2018sludge steam\u2019 to be separated from the solids. Then, the leftover dry, solid mass is burned in a controlled environment and reduced to fly ash. This process creates heat that warms a boiler, producing steam that creates energy through a generator. Meanwhile, the \u2018sludge steam\u2019 first goes through a filter &#8211; from which solids are fed back into the system &#8211; then, it goes through a condenser, and finally to water separation, resulting in 99.9 per cent clean water. It\u2019s not difficult to see how growing urban areas can benefit from implementing this incredible tech.<\/p>\n<h2>F&amp;T\u2019s low-cost water purification system can even remove emulsified oil<\/h2>\n<p>Another method that could help mitigate water scarcity, and at the same time reduce the amount of industrial wastewater that reaches the environment, is <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Electrocoagulation\">electrocoagulation<\/a>, a technique used to remove harmful substances from water that can\u2019t be easily removed by other methods. This includes toxins such as \u201cemulsified oil, total petroleum hydrocarbons, refractory organics, suspended solids, and heavy metals\u201d. This wonder is achieved by passing an electrical current through the water, and the conventional technology used for electrocoagulation consists of one large reaction chamber with multiple electrodes. Unfortunately, this system provides inconsistent performance, makes maintenance expensive, and wastes a lot of energy.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why F&amp;T Water Solutions, an American company specialising in environmentally safe industrial wastewater treatment, developed an electrocoagulation unit, called the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ftwatersolutions.com\/electrocoagulation\/variable-electro-precipitator\">Variable Electro Precipitator<\/a>, that replaces the large chamber with multiple smaller reaction chambers. This increases energy efficiency and improves consistency, as each chamber can be controlled separately. Best of all, this technology can completely <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailykos.com\/stories\/2016\/3\/29\/1507630\/-5-Technologies-to-Save-Our-Global-Water-Crisis\">remove<\/a> ground water contamination caused by fracking.<\/p>\n<p>Climate change, overpopulation, and poverty deny billions access to clean water. But a lack of clean water doesn\u2019t affect only developing countries and remote villages, as Cape Town\u2019s experience demonstrates. Though conscious water consumption can help us mitigate the problem, technological innovations such as these are necessary for everyone to have access to clean water.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fog might be a great renewable freshwater source Powerful personal water filtration system purifies water on the go Super-machine turns human faeces into crisp, fresh water F&amp;T\u2019s low-cost water purification system can even remove emulsified oil Most people don\u2019t pay attention to how they use \u2013 or, should we say, waste \u2013 water.
