Evaluation for the Desalinated Water Supply for California:

REF POST 3959 and 3973 of SWET Board on Investor Hub : Not to repeat myself, but unlike EnviroMission, Ltd., updraft energy towers, SWET’s downdraft towers were developed to produce “NOT ONLY” abundant clean electrical energy, but also to provide desalinated water to arid environments. The following excerpt was written by Dan Zaslavsky and others, dated May 31, 2006, page 24 thru 26;

4. Evaluation for the Desalinated Water Supply for California,
Mexico, Chile and Peru

The computation of sea desalinated water assumed that 20% of the power produced will be
used for it and the power consumption will be 3 kWh per cubic meter desalinated, then the
water quantity was divided by 1000 to find out how many people could be served, 1000 cubic
meter per person per year is a very rich state as far as water is concerned. To find the overall
potential one has to multiply by the number of small 20×20 km squares.
First consider in the last way in the middle east over 200,000 people set in one square or over
200 million cubic meters per square spread over 400 square kilometer, it means more than
half a meter water covering the whole land.
Taking the total electricity in a year over north Africa 59676×109 kWh/year can easily
provide nearly 10 billion people with electricity. This means that the whole of Europe and
Africa can be provided by cheap and clean electricity. Moreover, let us say that only one
billion people will be provided with 6000×109 kWh per year. Take 3 kWh per cubic meter
and only 20% of this power for water desalination and we shall have 400×109 cubic meter per
year, nearly 6 times the Nile for local water supply.
Taking 1753×109 kWh/year in Chile and Peru to supply electricity fully for to 290 106 people.
When with 20% of the electricity we can provide the same number of people with 403 m3/
capita/year. (Israel has only about 350 m3/capita before desalination.
