Pour millions of dollars into saltwater filtration technology in California

(Long term drought and exhaustion in finding new sources of water, has prompted California to intensify its plans for converting salty seawater into drinking water to ease a severe thirst in the country. a long time lack of water. 'Desalination' technology in water plants can cost up to hundreds of millions of dollars.

In Carlsbad, California, a $ 1 billion project is completing 25% of the construction to filter 50 million liters of fresh water every day and supply the water system to serve 3.1 million people.

In the early 20th century, the 'reduction' of salt seemed to be a distant fiction, until the 1980s, the process of filtering salt and impurities through reverse osmosis membranes became more reliable and put into use as an effective filtering tool for water-scarce territories and countries.

However, the process of treating seawater requires a very large source of energy, so it is only feasible for oil-rich places like the Middle East. But recent technological advances in cell membrane materials and energy recovery systems have been able to meet half of the desalination requirements. it will be a technology to prevent the fear that this may be an early stage of a decade-long drought.

'I think that the cost is very affordable compared to the absence of water in Southern California and the drought that we are facing.' Moreover, the project to supply water from the North to farms, industry and people in the South is not able to maintain long term. Therefore, seawater desalination project will bring many times more efficiency.
