Icebergs as a Fresh-Water Source: An Appraisal

Large Scale Dew Collection as a Source of Fresh Water Supply

A scheme for large-scale dew collection as a source of fresh water supply is outlined in the present paper. The scheme envisages bringing cold seawater (5C) from about 500 meters depth and about 5 km from the shore, in four, 1.22 m diameter plastic pipes. It then passes through an onshore heat exchanger field with an area of 1.29 X 10 m (1.39 X 10 ft) where it condenses 643 m of dew over the 24...

Fog as a fresh-water resource: overview and perspectives.

The collection of fog water is a simple and sustainable technology to obtain fresh water for afforestation, gardening, and as a drinking water source for human and animal consumption. In regions where fresh water is sparse and fog frequently occurs, it is feasible to set up a passive mesh system for fog water collection. The mesh is directly exposed to the atmosphere, and the foggy air is pushe...

Potable water as a source for legionellosis.

Several lines of evidence have been examined in attempts to implicate potable water as a source for legionellosis. Success has been mixed. The strongest evidence has been the similarity of strains recovered from patients and from potable water and the cessation of outbreaks following institution of measures to eradicate Legionella from potable water systems. Epidemiologic efforts to identify th...
