Water source
Icebergs are good source of water
Currently 1.2 billion people do not have access to clean water.
By 2030 the UN estimates that 50 per cent of the global population could be facing water shortages. Desalination has been going on for some time now; but the process remains incredibly expensive and very energy intensive.
Currently R&D is in the final stage of developing a unique technology to harvest icebergs and deliver them to nations around the world with a more competitive pricing in comparison to desalination.
It’s expected to start the trial run by the second quarter of 2019 and to the eastern coast of the UAE by the end of 2019.
