PART 15 of “Fresh water, the ultimate resource…” ---------- At C.J Martin & Co Sustainable Enterprises, our core values and vision are centred around the principle of "Do no harm to the land." This commitment is reflected in every facet of our Sol de Sal design. Initially conceived as a standalone thermal desalination system, during the inventing and then testing processes, volume limitations became apparent in comparison to large-scale desalination technologies like Reverse Osmosis. Conversely, Reverse Osmosis produces a highly concentrated brine as a byproduct, which is released back into the environment, causing significant harm to both inland and marine ecosystems. This led us to re-evaluate our approach. Through this evaluation, we discovered that Sol de Sal offers an opportunity to work in conjunction with Reverse Osmosis. Sol de Sal has no limitations on the source water's salinity, which can handle any level of dissolved salt. Reverse Osmosis, being a filtration system, has limitations with excessively saline source water. Our system goes beyond more than desalination, we can transform hypersaline brine into two valuable products: rainwater-quality freshwater and dry salt crystals. Our process eliminates the toxic hypersaline brine produced by RO, going back to the environment and is genuinely sustainable. This is exactly why I designed and invented this system. ---------- Thank you for reading PART 15 of “Fresh water, the ultimate resource…” PART 16 will be released here on Linkedin on the 23rd July, 2024.

Hydro-hubs and desalination might solve Bangalore's water scarcity issue. Hydro-Hubs Concept: Imagine creating localized “Hydro-Hubs” within the city. These hubs would serve as integrated water management centers. Each Hydro-Hub would combine various water sources, treatment facilities, and distribution networks. The goal is to decentralize water management, making it more efficient, sustainable, and resilient. Components of Hydro-Hubs: Rainwater Harvesting: Every building, park, and open space within the Hydro-Hub area would collect rainwater. Rooftops, roads, and green spaces would be designed to channel rainwater into storage tanks. Greywater Recycling: Buildings and communities would treat and reuse greywater (from sinks, showers, etc.) for non-potable purposes like irrigation or flushing toilets. Aquifer Recharge Wells: Hydro-Hubs would include recharge wells to replenish groundwater. Excess rainwater and treated wastewater would percolate into the aquifers. Desalination Units: For coastal cities like Chennai, integrating small-scale desalination plants within Hydro-Hubs could provide additional freshwater. Smart Metering and Monitoring: Real-time monitoring of water usage, leak detection, and predictive analytics would optimize distribution. Community Participation: Engage citizens in water stewardship. Schools, colleges, and community centers could educate people about water conservation. Encourage citizen-led initiatives like community gardens, where rainwater and greywater nourish plants. Green Infrastructure: Design Hydro-Hubs with green roofs, permeable pavements, and urban forests. These natural systems absorb rainwater, reduce runoff, and recharge aquifers. Construct wetlands and bio-swales to naturally filter and purify water. Incentivize Innovation: Offer grants and incentives for startups and researchers working on water-saving technologies. Collaborate with universities and research institutions to explore novel solutions. Public-Private Partnerships: Involve private companies in Hydro-Hub development. They can contribute expertise, funding, and technology. In return, companies gain a stake in sustainable water management. Policy and Regulation: Create a supportive policy framework. Streamline approvals for rainwater harvesting systems, greywater reuse, and aquifer recharge. Implement water pricing mechanisms that encourage conservation. Benefits of Hydro-Hubs: Resilience: Hydro-Hubs diversify water sources, reducing dependence on a single supply. Local Empowerment: Communities actively participate in water management. Climate Adaptation: Hydro-Hubs adapt to changing rainfall patterns and climate extremes.
