Ovivo - Desalination

Fresh water supplies are increasingly under pressure across the globe. According to the World Water Council, whilst the world’s population tripled in the twentieth century, the world population’s water consumption grew six-fold.

By 2025, it is expected that demand for water will exceed supply by more than 50%. Persistent regional droughts, population shift to coastal cities, industrial growth, food production and domestic use all contribute to the growing demand. Without adequate fresh water supplies, economic development is hampered and living standards plummet.

Saltwater oceans contain 97% of the world’s surface water; without desalination systems, it remains undrinkable. Ovivo technology can help produce ensure plentiful supplies of potable (drinking) water from brackish and seawater.
