and tugboats to bring fresh water to the hardest-hit coastal and island regions around the Mediterranean.

an innovative, flexible and affordable solution is needed to transport large quantities of fresh water from ater-richto ater-poorareas.

and cost-effective system to transport fresh water by sea using flexible plastic containers water-bags towed by a tugboat.

4m-wide container capable of carrying 200 tonnes of fresh water. Each water-bag is equipped with integrated sensors,

and delivery system will be to supply fresh water to Mediterranean coastal cities and islands with less than 300 000 inhabitants covering about 45 million European citizens.

the Refresh approach is more cost effective than using tanker ships where fresh water is priced around EUR 14/m3 or huge infrastructures, such as pipelines or desalination plants.

The supply of fresh water to locations experiencing shortages will help take the pressure off aquifers and reservoirs,

only 2%of it is fresh water. To make matters worse, only one-forth of all fresh water is accessible to humans.

Until now, the entire human race has survived on 0. 5%of the available water on earth. But that about to change.

Two architects invented this low-tech way of collecting dew and turning it into fresh water. It works well for collecting water in virtually any environment

About 12 gallons of fresh water can be extracted from air in a single day from one 300 sq ft unit.
