but extracts it from the water the way gills do. Israeli inventor Alon Bodner has come close.

The device, aptly named Likeafish, works by using a centrifuge to lower the pressure of water within an airtight chamber.

Since only a little oxygen is contained in water the device must move about 190 liters (50 gallons) per minute in order for the average person to breathe comfortably.

Growup founders Kate Hofman and Tom Webster built the Kickstarter-funded farm to demonstrate the possibilities of aquaponic farmingwhere wastewater from fish tanks is turned into nutrients (with a little help from microbacteria) that fertilize plants

which in turn purify the water. In the end, the purified water is sent back to the fish and the process starts all over again.

The box contains two 1, 000-liter fish tanks that house 150 tilapia, but the Kickstarter page assures us that the vegetables (the box can grow salads, herbs,

farmers in central Malawi who had relied previously on rain to water their crops learned the benefits of spooning water directly onto their plants.

Yet because such crops require less water, fertilizer, and pesticides and reap higher yields, African farmers are interested.

These keep the dirt stationary long enough for it to catch water and insects, germinate seeds,

with less water. The key is precision farming: the convergence of digital technology that allows farmers to apply just the right amount of fertilizer and water on their fields.

Humans have practiced a rather crude form of agriculture for millennia: we douse fields to give them as much water

and fertilizer as we think they need. Yet field conditions may differ drastically within a few feet.

Experimental projects are even testing how to dispatch farm drones (crop-spying quadcopters for example) that measure everything from reflectivity to water loss to optimize the efficiency of a farm s operations.#

Last week I got into a discussion with a friend about the concept of self-contained water.

If you think in terms of picking up a bottle of water, only without the bottle, you get the picture.

but I m referring to a more usable form of water. As an example, if water itself could be used to form a somewhat hardened skin around a small quantity of water,

we could create 100%consumable water with zero waste. An industrial design team in London has come the closest with something calledooho,

a blob-like water container made out of an edible algae membrane. While it still involves using something other than water,

it does give us clues on how to make a container out of what we re trying to contain,

in this case water. As we imagine our way through this design problem, many more questions come to light.

Should it be flexible like a plastic bag or a bit more ridged like a typical water bottle?

What is the ideal shape? Should it be a cube for easy stacking, have a handle for easy holding,

Even a container made of water will get dirty, so how do we clean the dirt from the side of a solid water container?

More water? More importantly, what is the optimal size for a self-contained water container? Should it be cup sized, quart-sized, gallon-sized, or larger?

Or maybe marble-sized or pea-sized water pellets would work best. Should the water beeaten like tiny liquid snacks that could be popped into your mouth at any time?

Perhaps we would want flavored water like cherry water, tea water, coffee water, or chocolate water.

Maybe we don t actually eat or drink the container. Once the inside water is gone, it may be possible to just discard the bottle onto a lawn or flowerbed,

as a form of enviro-littering, and wait for it to re-liquefy, sending a few drops of moisture to the thirsty plants below.

How would we fabricate the container part of water? Would it somehow be molded, pressed, 3d printed, or simply sprayed onto a form?

The process I ve just described is what I callsituational futuring, where we begin to explore the implications of some future technology.

Here s how this can be used as an effective futuring tool. Situational Futuring Much like dropping a rock into still water and watching the ripples form in every direction,

situational futuring begins with a central idea, which grows into a series of rippling thoughts, issues,

and questions expanding in every direction. Unlike the study of macro or megatrends, situational futuring is a micro-futuring process that begins with a single invention, tiny idea

and much more. 2. Water Harvesting Irrigation Spikes Will it someday be possible to add atmospheric water harvesting ground-spikes next to every plant or tree in our garden?

#New water desalination technology makes ocean water drinkable New method devised using a small electrical field that will remove the salt from seawater.

Chemists with the University of Texas and the University of Marburg have devised a method of using a small electrical field that will remove the salt from seawater.

Called electrochemically mediated seawater desalination (EMSD) this technique has improved upon the current water desalination method.

The availability of water for drinking and crop irrigation is one of the most basic requirements for maintaining

Seawater desalination is one way to address this need, but most current methods for desalinating water rely on expensive and easily contaminated membranes.

The membrane-free method we ve developed still needs to be refined and scaled up, but if we can succeed at that,

then one day it might be possible to provide fresh water on a massive scale using a simple, even portable, system.

Thiswater chip methodcould bring relief to millions around the globe who lack potable water. This methodis much simpler and consumes less energy than other forms of desalination.

the researchers apply a small voltage (3. 0 volts) to a plastic chip filled with seawater.

At the junction of the channel an embedded electrode neutralizes some of the chloride ions in seawater to create an ion depletion zone that increases the local electric field compared with the rest of the channel.

allowing desalinated water to pass through the other branch. The Ion depletion zone prevents salt from passing through

which creates fresh water out of salt water. An estimated 780 million people across the globe do not have access to drinkable water.

Of those estimated 345 million reside in Africa. There is an estimated 366 million, trillion gallons of water on planet Earth.

That number appears to be fixed, according to UNESCO s Intergovernmental Council of the International Hydrological Program (HIP.

and finding natural water resources and managing those resources found. While the UN is well aware that the necessity of water as a vital source for life means the retention of power over all life,

they are well into their schemes to develop global governance over all sources of fresh, clean water.

The IPCC document HS 15332 Climate Change Impacts: Securitization of Water, Food, Soil, Health, Energy and Migration explains how the UN plans to secure resources to use at their disposal.

Through the International monetary fund (IMF) underdeveloped countries are forced to sell their resources to the global Elite asfull cost recovery to the global central bankers.

This scheme makes water sources under central privatization cost more and become less accessible to those who desperately need it.

Water prices rise while the quality of it diminishes. This forces natives in places like South africa and India to collect water from polluted streams and rivers

which compromises their health. The cycle in complete when those who had stolen their water from them through coercion die from contaminated water that they were forced to use.

At the High-level International Conference on Water Cooperation (ICWC) conference, entitledwater in the Anthropocene states that humanity s impact on freshwater resources were assessed

and it was determined that a 3rd of the estimated 7 billion people on earth have limited access to clean water.

Millions if individual local humans affect the regional, continental and global water cycles which facilitates a drastic shortage and untold damage of aquatic ecosystems.

The document stated: In the short span of one or two generations, the majority of the nine billion people On earth will be living under the handicap of severe pressure on fresh water.

Human populations utilize water resources the equivalent of the size of South africa to tend to the needs of crops.

Another Africa-sized amount of water is used on the care of livestock. Fresh water makes up 2. 5%of the total water supplies across the planet.

It is estimated that 70%of it is snow and ice-pack. The document says that because of the impact of man on the planet

the earth s chemistry and climate have been altered which has evidenced itself in the measureable hydrological cycles of the planet.

This obviously unsustainable course is causing the contamination of our fresh water supply. UN-Water, a non-governmental organization (NGO), controlled by UNESCO,

published the 4th edition of the UN World Water development Report (WWDR4) in 2012. In this report, the world s freshwater resources were analyzed.

Internationally controlled infrastructure was recommended to save those resources from being depleted. Research data shows that nearly 1 billion people are using finite water resources.

#5 Ways We Waste Water Water is a resource that much of the developed world takes for granted

but that many in the developing world struggle to find enough of every day. That struggle could spread as climate change

and other manmade pressures change the availability of water around the globe and as Earth's population grows ever larger making the need for that resource even more acute.

The number of humans on the planet could reach 11 billion people by the end of the century the United nations projects up from just over 7 billion people now.

Already more than 2 billion people face a water scarcity each month but tremendous amounts of water are wasted still.

What 11 Billion People Mean for Water Scarcity From lawns to flood irrigation here are five ways that people waste water

and some ways to reduce that waste. Irrigation Agriculture uses about 70 percent of the available freshwater on the planet.

Around the world most farming relies on flood irrigation where fields are drenched with water and the excess runs off into nearby streams and rivers.

But flood irrigation wastes tons of water and can pollute waterways with fertilizers creating dead zones in the ocean (where oxygen is used up

and covering crops to prevent water evaporation. Lawns Lawns are one of the thirstiest water hogs in cities and towns.

While lawns may be appropriate in some areas most green expanses aren't made of local grasses adapted to grow in the area.

As cities tighten their belts some areas may require residents to water lawns less frequently

or rocks whereas other areas may rip out the water-hungry grass species such as St augustine and replace them with mixtures of native grasses that guzzle less water.

As a bonus many of these native grasses are softer and less itchy than the old standbys.

which requires much more water than producing an equivalent weight of wheat or potatoes. As the planet becomes drier countries will have to shift their economies

One way to do that is to water crops less during certain parts of the harvest. The plants then direct more growth into the fruit away from leaves and stems.

That means farmers can grow more crops with less water. Â Flushed down the toilet One of the biggest sources of usable water is treated wastewater.

After people brush their teeth wash their vegetables or flush the toilet most of that water is treated and sanitized.

While that water isn't really suitable for a big glass of water (unless you're on the International Space station) much of it could be put to use watering crops freeing up freshwater for drinking.

Currently the United states treats 70 percent of its wastewater but only uses 4 percent of that amount.
