Through Innovative Climate Solutions

The Water Crisis in a Warming World

Recent scientific publications indicate that as global temperatures rise, more water is evaporating, transforming into water vapor. This vapor dissipates into the atmosphere, leaving less water available in the ground. This is a critical issue, especially for agriculture, as water is essential for crop growth.

The Fontana™ and Armadillo™: Water Retrieval Systems

Our innovative structures, the Fontana™ and Armadillo™, are designed to attract water vapor, extract water, and convert it into a controllable liquid form. These systems can deliver water directly under the Earth’s surface, making it readily available to plant roots. Unlike traditional irrigation methods, where 90% of water delivered as rain fails to be fully absorbed, our systems aim for nearly 100% water retrieval.

OceanCoolingSystem™: Reducing Evaporation

The OceanCoolingSystem™ is designed to lower the temperature of water bodies, thereby reducing the rate of evaporation. Lower temperatures require more heat energy to convert water into vapor, making the process less likely.

Water Quality and Food Security

As water evaporates, the concentration of pollutants in the remaining water can increase, affecting its quality. Moreover, climate change is forcing economies to adapt their agricultural practices. For instance, while vineyards are being planned in Britain, vegetable farming is becoming increasingly difficult in countries like Spain, Italy, Greece, and North Africa.

The Migration Crisis: A Symptom of Climate Change

People in countries facing water and food shortages are increasingly considering migration as a last resort. While developed countries are concerned about the influx of immigrants, the root cause—unliveable conditions in the migrants’ home countries—remains unaddressed.

The Role of Fontana™ and Armadillo™ in Alleviating Migration

Our systems can contribute to food security by ensuring a reliable water supply for agriculture. Many conflicts that lead to migration could be mitigated with stable access to food and water.

Historical Context

Throughout history, emigration has often been a response to catastrophes. Notable examples include the Irish potato famine and the transportation of convicts from England to distant countries due to food scarcity.

Conclusion

Addressing the root causes of migration—namely, food and water scarcity—can be a more effective strategy than merely managing its symptoms. The Fontana™ and Armadillo™ systems offer a promising solution for a more sustainable and secure future.
