Efficient & Sustainable Desalination in the Netherlands: Get access to abundant water.

Even though the Netherlands is a country with plenty of access to fresh water, it is facing more and more droughts and water shortages, especially during the summer. Furthermore, the vast majority of the country’s surface is used for agriculture, a very water intensive industry. Approximately 80% of the country’s total water consumption is attributed to agricultural industries.

Declining availability of rainwater & groundwater combined with a rising increase in demand has led to several problems. Shipping and agriculture, as well as homeowners are affected. Over a million homes could be at risk of subsidence across 83 Dutch municipalities. The foundation problems alone could cost individual homeowners upwards of a hundred thousand euros.

    ‘’A special thanks to Elemental Water Makers who joined forces with Lanzarote Retreats to achieve their sustainability goals. The Dutch team made it possible for our eco-village to become independent on water. We are naturally powering the desalination unit by harnessing the wind & sun.

    I hope Elemental Water Makers will continue to encourage the rest of the world to do the same.’’

    Small remote village on Cape Verde driven by desalinated water

    Cape Verde faces water scarcity because of limited natural water resources available. Desalination technology accounts for over 90% of the fresh water supply. Because desalination is very energy intensive, water is not affordable. Water tariffs are even a higher burden in remote villages, where water has to be trucked to. EWM is working in Salamansa, Sao Vicente to show that reliable water can be produced at low costs in these villages, without requiring any investment. Using Award-winning proprietary desalination technology to turn seawater into high-quality fresh water, using only the abundant sunshine.

    The beauty of the beaches in Mozambique

    ”Previously, we were sailing a dhow to the mainland with a 5000-liter water tank. This was hugely time-consuming and a concern of safety in bad weather. Water was a constant issue.
    Not anymore it isn’t. We are delighted with the desalination solution, it has rocked our world completely.”

    Green fields and turquoise water in Indonesia

    At a nursery for small plants in Indonesia, we have installed a solar energy powered brackish water desalination system assisted by gravity. The fresh water is used to grow the small plants. This project has been the result of a cooperation between the University of Technology Delft, The Netherlands and the Institut Teknologi Bandung, Indonesia and has won several prestigious innovation awards.

    ‘’We are excited to enable clean water from the sea that tastes good and has low production cost. After an extensive review of the different technologies available on the market, we decided to work with Elemental due to their efficient and easy to use desalination technology. Their flexible mindset allows us to develop different projects to improve the clean water supply in Chile.’’

    Our project in the Visayas, Philippines brought a consistent, resilient, high-quality, low cost and sustainable drinking water source to a 2,500 population island for the first time ever, and will greatly improve health outcomes for the community for years to come. EWM’s groundbreaking technology, as well as their operational flexibility in helping to deploy the project in the midst of the COVID-19 and community quarantine environment, have been invaluable in creating this tremendous social impact.”
