Alternative supplies of drinking water
The traditional sources of drinking water have been springs and springs, rivers, wells and piped water.
In the current scenario of drought due to climate change and the restricted use of existing water resources, we can study alternative solutions to provide ourselves with the drinking water essential to make our land habitable.
The usual options are the hiring of tankers of 5 to 14 m3 of water, desalination by reverse osmosis if we have the legal possibility of collecting water and generation from the humidity of the air in the atmosphere.
In places where water is not abundant, the quality of the tap water is usually not constant and we do not know its origin. Reverse osmosis has a high energy cost and the salt and water discarded during the process must be legally disposed of.
The water produced with atmospheric water generators has a quality controlled by the user himself and generates practically no waste and has a low energy cost.
If small or medium volumes are needed for consumption, it is a new technology to consider in terms of autonomy and sustainability.
They are ideal for territories with dry and long summers, such as the Balearic Islands and the Mediterranean coast.
