How Deep Sea Water is Now Drinkable

How Deep Sea Water is Now Drinkable. Freshwater may soon flow from the deep sea to drought-stricken coastal cities. A handful of companies are betting that crushing deep sea pressures can replace the energy-hungry pumps and toxic chemicals that are an inconvenient truth of desalination.

Bay Area company develops new technology that holds promise of safer desalination practices

An experimental technology now in testing holds the promise of revolutionizing California's depleted water supply. California spends billions to store water, pump water and recycle water. But even with climate change bearing down, one strategy is a tougher sell: desalinating water and pulling it from the sea. There are roughly a dozen desalination plants operating in California, including the massive Carlsbad plant at San Diego. But approval of new plants is typically met with fierce opposition from many environmental groups.

What is behind the underinvestment in water tech?

Despite the recognition of water tech as a promising investment for addressing climate challenges, the sector has not attracted substantial funding. Water’s ubiquity might be its own worst enemy. Why worry about something that is usually so widely available? But in reality, global freshwater demand could soon outstrip supply by at least 40% by 2030, according to the UN.

Las Virgenes Municipal Water District and OceanWell Pilot Innovative Subsea Water Farm Technology

OceanWell, a water technology company, and Las Virgenes Municipal Water District (LVMWD) launched a first-of-its-kind pilot to showcase OceanWell's fresh water harvesting system. The pilot is the next step in OceanWell's and LVMWD's partnership, first announced in 2023, to prove the efficacy of OceanWell's proprietary submerged water filtration technology, and ultimately, provide a stable, scalable and climate-resilient source of water for a region that has been hard-hit by water shortages in recent years.

Drinkable seawater? One company in drought-plagued SoCal is trying a new approach

Like a lot of desalination systems, this one shoves salt water through a filter, and spits out fresh water on the other side. Unlike those other systems, this one is designed to work 1,500 feet beneath the surface, where water passes through the membrane on its own because of the immense water pressure. OceanWell said compared to other membrane-based systems that take water from close to the surface, its technology uses 30 to 40% less energy to produce fresh water.

New desalination technology being tested in California could lower costs of tapping seawater

A new deep-sea desalination technology is undergoing testing in Southern California. Water managers hope it will offer an economical and environmentally friendly way of tapping the Pacific Ocean for fresh water. The CEO of the company that developed the technology calls it a moonshot to revolutionize how California — and the world — can transform seawater into drinking water. If the system proves viable, the company plans to build what it calls a water farm anchored to the ocean floor several miles off the coast of Malibu. Californians could be drinking water tapped from the Pacific Ocean off Malibu several years from now — that is, if a company’s new desalination technology proves viable.
