    Why couldn't they have water power planets in the coast of Italy to convert sea water from the Mediterranean sea into drinkable water like in the UAE?

    Because there was never a need for it before. Italy is not supposed to be an arid country and this was totally unexpected, hence the emergency.

    Indeed, this is a contra-thread
    With the difference that this is truthful.

    And what the fuck with your source?? El Itagnol? damn, what a name
    Well, I clicked and the first news I saw it were these:

    Also this appears in your own link about Spain

    It's ironic when Napoli has the largest amount of annual rainfall in Europe and Venice is at a serious risk of flooding. I'm not sure if a flood barrier could also be placed in Venice like the world's largest flood barriers that were created in London and in the Netherlands several decades ago and they're still protecting us against flooding today.

    The Thames Flood Barrier is due to expire in 2030 though and a new one will need to be created, due to the city being only 3 metres above sea level and having a large river and canals running through the entire city and rising waters from the North Sea entering through the River Thames that connects to the North Sea via the Thames Estuary. The melting ice-caps and rising waters in the North Sea also affects The Netherlands.

    Venice is the only city in the world that's built entirely on water which makes it magical, but they've also experienced problems with rising sea levels and flooding in Venezia.

    We're a small island compared to Australia, and so wherever people live in Britain they're never far from all the seas and ocean surrounding us.

    We suffer from lots of coastal erosion and cliffs collapsing along the coast and falling into the sea, and heavy rainfall and flooding from huge waves from the North Atlantic Ocean into Cornwall, and from the English Channel sea along the south coast, and from the North Sea, Celtic Sea, and Irish Sea affecting other regions of the British Isles.

    According to experts, without the highly advanced flood barrier to protect us that was created in 1983, we'd be underwater right now.

    Many people died in severe floods in London prior to the creation of the Thames Flood Barrier, but London still survives and stands strong... and has survived through far worse things, such as The Blitz where thousands of bombs rained down on the city, the 1666 Great Fire of London which burned down the city, IRA bomb attacks, ISIS attacks, etc.... 'we shall never surrender.'

    The Italians know how to survive during difficult times too and they also have the willpower and determination to find methods to overcome problems, whether it's flooding or droughts, and the forces of Mother Nature.... 'where there's a will, there's a way!'

    I think flooding and lots of rainy weather causes more problems than arid weather in hotter nations. People can fly helicopters and aeroplanes carrying water tanks with sprinklers and hoses to spray over fields of crops, and use spring water from the mountains like the Romans did... but it's more difficult to control large flooding.



    My original hometown where most of my relatives live on the south coast was badly flooded in recent years.

    4th April, 2017



    The prospect of drinkable seawater has moved a step closer with the invention of a graphene-based sieve.

    The sieve, developed by UK-based researchers, is able to remove any traces of salt – meaning there is a real possibility of providing clean drinking water to millions of people who struggle to gain access.

    The team at the University of Manchester, where colleagues won a Nobel Prize in 2010 for first extracting graphene, have managed to precisely control the sizes of pores in a graphene oxide sieve.


    The graphene sieve would be able to make seawater drinkable for millions

    Their discovery allows them to filter out salts from water to make it safe to drink, according to the Nature Nanotechnology journal.

    Dr Ram Devanathan, from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, wrote: “The ultimate goal is to create a filtration device that will produce potable water from seawater or wastewater with minimal energy input.”

    Graphene oxide membranes have already been proven to filter out large salts but it is only now that the team have worked out how to filter out common salts.

    Previous work had shown that graphene oxide membranes became slightly swollen when immersed in water, allowing smaller salts to flow through the pores along with water molecules.

    However, the researchers demonstrated that placing walls made of epoxy resin (a substance used in coatings and glues) on either side of the graphene oxide membrane was enough to stop the expansion.

    With man-made climate change reducing cities’ water supplies, countries have been increasingly investing in “desalination” technologies.




    The UN has predicted that around 1.2 billion people, or 14% of the world’s population, will experience difficulties sourcing clean water by 2025.

    Professor Rahul Nair, who led the team of researchers in Manchester, said it is a “significant step forward” that will “open new possibilities for improving the efficiency of desalination technology”.

    What is graphene?

    Graphene is the world’s first 2D material and was first isolated in 2004. It is incredibly light and flexible but immensely tough – around 200 time stronger than steel. It is the thinnest material on Earth – one MILLION times thinner than the human hair – and acts as a perfect barrier, able to prevent even helium from passing through it. Made up of a hexagonal lattice of carbon atoms in a honeycomb like structure, graphene could one day be used to create flexible phones, wearable technology and lightweight planes.

    A Clean Water Crisis

    The water you drink today has likely been around in one form or another since dinosaurs roamed the Earth, hundreds of millions of years ago.

    While the amount of freshwater on the planet has remained fairly constant over time—continually recycled through the atmosphere and back into our cups—the population has exploded. This means that every year competition for a clean, copious supply of water for drinking, cooking, bathing, and sustaining life intensifies.

    Water scarcity is an abstract concept to many and a stark reality for others. It is the result of myriad environmental, political, economic, and social forces.

    Freshwater makes up a very small fraction of all water on the planet. While nearly 70 percent of the world is covered by water, only 2.5 percent of it is fresh. The rest is saline and ocean-based. Even then, just 1 percent of our freshwater is easily accessible, with much of it trapped in glaciers and snowfields. In essence, only 0.007 percent of the planet's water is available to fuel and feed its 6.8 billion people.

    Due to geography, climate, engineering, regulation, and competition for resources, some regions seem relatively flush with freshwater, while others face drought and debilitating pollution. In much of the developing world, clean water is either hard to come by or a commodity that requires laborious work or significant currency to obtain.

    Water Is Life

    Wherever they are, people need water to survive. Not only is the human body 60 percent water, the resource is also essential for producing food, clothing, and computers, moving our waste stream, and keeping us and the environment healthy.

    Unfortunately, humans have proved to be inefficient water users. (The average hamburger takes 2,400 liters, or 630 gallons, of water to produce, and many water-intensive crops, such as cotton, are grown in arid regions.)

    According to the United Nations, water use has grown at more than twice the rate of population increase in the last century. By 2025, an estimated 1.8 billion people will live in areas plagued by water scarcity, with two-thirds of the world's population living in water-stressed regions as a result of use, growth, and climate change.

    The challenge we face now is how to effectively conserve, manage, and distribute the water we have. National Geographic's Freshwater Web site encourages you to explore the local stories and global trends defining the world's water crisis. Learn where freshwater resources exist; how they are used; and how climate, technology, policy, and people play a role in both creating obstacles and finding solutions. Peruse the site to learn how you can make a difference by reducing your water footprint and getting involved with local and global water conservation and advocacy efforts.
