- Water Pollution
By: glennoliver | - Water pollution is one of the biggest problems that the world is facing today. Our water bodies, including rivers, lakes, oceans and even our ground water is becoming contaminated. The result of this contamination can damage the whole world, causing damage to both the human population and the natural biological communities. World over, water pollution causes many diseases and even deaths. Thousands of people die every day due to some degree of water pollution.
HOW DOES WATER BECOME POLLUT ...

- Dealing With Water Shortages Around The World
By: Shawn Wilson | - As the world's population grows the availability of clean drinking water is diminishing. Sadly a good portion of the clean drinking water found around the world has been polluted and whether you believe humans are the cause of global warming or not, glaciers and snow caps are reducing at an alarming rate.
So what do the homo sapiens do? All over the world countries have been devising different systems to deal with this existing and future shortage of water. There are quite a few o ...

- Carlsbad Seawater Desalination Plant Sets Low Energy Use Record
By: Energy Recovery Inc. | - In early 2006 the Carlsbad Pilot plant entered a new phase of testing with the installation of a state-of-the-art seawater desalination system equipped with the latest energy saving technology. The new reverse osmosis system combines two key features that substantially reduce energy use. The first key ingredient is the latest seawater desalination membrane produced by FilmTech (Dow Chemicals). This membrane produces more water per square foot of membrane filtration surface using 5 % less power t ...

- California Desalination Report With More Than A Grain Of Subjectivity Part 3
By: Nikolay Voutchkov | - How unique is the impact of desalination operations on the environment?
The PI report points out two key areas of desalination project impact on the environment: the effect of their high-salinity discharge on aquatic life and the potential impingement and entrainment of plant intake facilities. Although the report claims that safe disposal of plant concentrate is a challenge, it fails to mention that there are over two decades of experience of safe concentrate disposal from both seawater ...

- California Desalination Report With More Than A Grain Of Subjectivity Part 2
By: Nikolay Voutchkov | - Is desalination affordable for Californians?
The PI report indicates that one of the major reasons for California desalinations immaturity is its lack of affordability. Currently, the cost of desalinating seawater in California is relatively higher than that of traditional low-cost water sources (groundwater and river water) and water reclamation and reuse for irrigation and industrial use. Indeed, the cost of traditional local groundwater water supplies in some parts of the stat ...

- California Desalination Report With More Than A Grain Of Subjectivity Part 1
By: Nikolay Voutchkov | - In June 2006, the Pacific Institute (PI) published a report entitled, Desalination, With a Grain of SaltA California Perspective. Ignoring several decades of successful track record of desalination in over 120 countries worldwide and the recent groundbreaking advances in applied
desalination research in California, the report presents an opinion that most of the ongoing seawater desalination initiatives in the State of California are premature. This opinion is not shared by the people ...

- Modern Alchemy: Wind To Water
By: Shawn Meyer-Steele | - The Perth SWRO plant in Western Australia utilizes a combination of clean wind power and the highest efficiency ERD available for one of the most efficient and environmentally friendly desalination plants in world.
A Thirsty Nation
The ongoing population growth in Australia's coastal communities combined with the worst drought in a century have unhappily converged creating the necessity for the Australian government to find water sources that are both located ...

- Potable Water From Sea And Wind
By: Roger Kelson and Gary Crisp | - Western Australia's Water Corporation is on track to produce drinking water form a 45GL/a desalination plant located in Kwinana, 25km south of Perth. The plant is being built by proAlliance - a 50/50 joint venture between West Australian construction company Multiplex and French water treatment company Degremont. Degremont will operate the 140,000m3/d plant for 25 years under a public-private partnership with the West Australian government-owned Water Corporation. The construction cost is $387 m ...

- Seawater Desalination: Water, Water, Everywhere
By: Kathryn Kranhold | - Water-short California's search to satisfy its thirst is beginning to focus on a controversial source -- the Pacific Ocean.
In November, Connecticut-based Poseidon Resources Corp. won a key regulatory approval to build a $300 million water-desalination plant in Carlsbad, north of San Diego. The facility would be the largest in the Western Hemisphere, producing 50 million gallons of drinking water a day, enough to supply about 100,000 homes.
Taking the salt out of se ...

- Inside A Company's News Release
By: James E. Finch | - Most investors read a company's news releases, but don't read between the lines to understand in which direction the company is heading. Too often, a company tries to say everything in the headline and the first paragraph. Why? Because they know, as we do, that most investors scan the headline, a few sentences and perhaps look at some drill intercepts or key technical data (which few really understand). Then, the investor looks at how the share price reacts to the news, rejoicing or complaining ...

- Reversing Mother Nature, Part Three
By: James Finch | - We talked to North Americas leading In Situ Leach (ISL) uranium mining engineers, and had them explain exactly how ISL worked. Most of the significant ISL operations in the United States were designed and/or constructed by these engineers. They explained how ISL mining is really just reversing the process of Mother Nature.
CLEANING UP THE PROJECT
Not so fast. Shipping the uranium out of the ISL plant isnt the final step. The water has to be cleaned up, the pro ...
