Aggiornamento 7 luglio: s’è trattato di desalinizzazione quest’oggi, nell’ambito della garbata trasmissione ‘Eden’, condotta su La7 da Licia Colò.
Qualcuno mi spiega se è davvero impossibile risolvere il problema siccità
con la desalinizzazione?
In a previous post, I dealt with desalination as an interesting way to fight drought and water resources scarceness, already in use, e.g., in Australia, where desertification is going on.
It is now wonderful to hear of a no profit organization, GivePower, that managed to obtain drinkable water from the Ocean, for the Kenyan people! It is calculated (by Unicef) that 2 billions of people in the world do not have access to the drinkable water, neither to drink, nor for washing nor to cook; the Kenyan village of Kiunga, the one we are speaking of, is in a particularly arid zone, and people needed to walk for an hour to reach the first usable well.
GivePower saved the situation and, what is wonderful, by using a solar-powered plant!
This is the path to walk on, and (altro…)

As for the subject we want to treat here, desalination is the procedure of extracting minerals from saline water (seas, oceans…) in order to obtain water suitable for human consumption or irrigation. (There also is, e.g., soil desalination, but it is a definitely different issue). (altro…)
