Meeting the world’s rapidly growing demand for water needs new ways of thinking. Under current conditions, meeting the daily needs of the world’s growing population will see demand for water exceed the available supply by 40 percent by 2030. To avoid this, and ensure there is enough water for everybody, measures need to be put in place to make the most of available supplies, conserving and preserving existing sources and using new approaches to create new ones.
One potential solution can be found in Singapore, where the world’s first dual mode desalination plant can produce 30 million gallons of potable water from both sea and rainwater, powered by ABB’s state of the art automation, measurement and analytical technologies.
