The numbers are known

1,3 billion people are without drinking water
30.000 people die every day due to lack of water
There is enough water, but not distributed good enough

Why are water transport not a giant industry?

Complex ownership to the water; political and economical tug of war
There has been 50 big conflicts over water since WW2
Lack og technical solutions to collect, store and transport water without big costs.

There are big capitalistic forces behind desalination technology
Transport by ship is expensive
– Building cost
– Maintenance costs are high
– High risk market due to political climate
– Better and safer to transport oil, gas and chemicals because of known rates
Transport by ship is demanding
– Harbour conditions
– Depth conditions

There are also problems with using pipelines since this will give too long storage time. How to store the water?

Bag- technology:

Transport-bags for towing
Floating deponies for storing
Onshore deponies for storing
Smaller bags for trucks

Cheap to make
Minimal maintenance
Cheap and environment friendly transport by small boats
Minimal harbour costs
Harbour conditions less less important
Depth conditions less important
Floating deponies along the coast
Onshore deponies are cheap to build
No distaster when going on ground
Desalination factories can be reduced
