Water is a need for survival, but at the same time it can create chaos!
CLIMATE.
Recently, weather changes have dominated the news. But most journalists refer to climate change for which humanity is to blame.
Our Earth, Tellus, has entered a new era that is due to natural changes in the cosmos.
Today’s modern humans have forgotten the course of nature and now rely instead on technological developments, such as the recent AI.
When I grew up in the 50s, on a farm, there were also severe weather changes, but then people calculated that during the good years they saved crops to be prepared for the bad years to come.
The sun also has a foremost importance for our climate. Now in the month of October 2024, the sun has reached its climax with sunspots that mean strong solar storms, this will continue for another year before a slowdown begins. This means disturbances in the Earth’s magnetic field, which affects ocean currents on the large oceans.
The global pole shift of atmospheric rivers is another phenomenon that few people know about.
Atmospheric rivers (AR) are key factors in distributing extratropical precipitation and transporting moisture towards the poles.
Climate models formed by historical anthropogenic forcing indicate an increase in AR activity in the extratropic over the past four decades and is now becoming even stronger with the sun’s current activity.
These highlight AR’s sensitivity to large-scale circulatory changes driven by both internal variability and external forcing in the current and coming decades.
FLOODS.
The sharp increase in the world’s population has meant uncontrolled construction of cities and industrial areas, which means that soil has been converted into concrete that does not absorb moisture. Therefore, enormous floods are now occurring, which are partly due to the water not finding its natural flow.
In Tokyo, Japan, a race is underway against ever-heavier rainfall, and the existing flood system is soon reaching its pain limit. Their solution to the problem has resulted in the city building the world’s largest underground tunnel system to divert the water.
This simple solution should be performed in all countries’ urban planning, about 10 years ago, but technological development has unfortunately been prioritized and thus meant cost savings of logistical solutions.
Another measure that has been forgotten, or postponed, is dredging river mouths to the sea. This was made by the authorities at regular intervals in the past!
If you dug the estuaries out correctly, the flow of rainwater masses will have a natural route out to sea, instead of causing flooding.
DRY PERIODS.
Despite the amount of torrential rainfall, the problem is that there is a water shortage because the rainwater does not penetrate the soil enough to increase the level of groundwater. This usually occurs after extended periods of heat when the soil dries out so strongly that it does not absorb rainwater, which instead creates soil erosion. This mud, which later fills sewer pipes, worsens the flow of stormwater, and causes flooding in residential areas.
WATER SHORTAGE.
When the groundwater level decreases, there is a shortage of drinking water. Therefore, investments are needed to find solutions, such as ocean desalination plants or atmospheric water generation (AWG), which extracts drinking water from the moisture in the atmosphere.
There is always access to underground water reservoirs, but unfortunately so much of this natural reserve has already been extracted and in the worst case, it could put the Earth’s balance at risk in terms of rotation. This discussion has taken place in world health organizations, but unfortunately without results.
As for desalination plants, the investments are quite large, but overall, purified seawater will be cheaper than the current supply of drinking water.
AWG, the extraction of water from the air, also becomes cheaper after investments earn interest.
A new model of offshore desalination plants has proven to be a faster solution in case of water shortage, which at the same time means a lower investment. These facilities will be manufactured as floating vessels, anchored far from the coast without taking up precious land.
A Norwegian company with experience in the offshore industry, FOD, can offer an installation within a 2-year period, which in the case of an onshore facility takes over 5 years to build with a significantly higher investment.
#WATERSUPPLY.
A project that has arisen through collaboration with various experts in the field, named #Watersupply, has found solutions such as Atmospheric Water Generation (“AWG”), for production of drinking water, through the construction of SkyH2O stations.
We also made an agreement with Floating Offshore Desalination AS. FOD, an advanced system through offshore seawater desalination, for use as drinking water or irrigation for agriculture.
Our goal is to collaborate with local authorities and businesses to find the solutions that are best suited to affected areas.
