Experts drew attention to the costs and damages that may occur occur Yet the desalination method has to be used to make seawater drinkable given the looming threats of drought triggered by climate change.
Scientific and Technological Research Council of Türkiye (TÜBITAK) Director General of the Marmara Research Institute (MAM) professor Burcu Özsoy regarding changes Notice in Antarctica, he said: “We see that the terrestrial glaciers have severely separated from the mainland and merged into the ocean. However, the terrestrial ice also poses a great risk Because it has the potential to increase sea levels.”
sea levels can rise Through two different mechanisms due to climate change. First, because the oceans are warm because of increasingly global temperature, sea water is expanding up more space in ocean basin and caused rise in water level. the second The mechanism is dissolution of ice over the land after that adds water to the ocean.
drying up of lakes and other sources of fresh water in Turkey raised its concerns as ultimatums began to be received in the country for severe drought during planning for Water desalination of Sea water is under study, but will it be a safe and healthy solution? Let’s read what our experts say for a better understanding.
Usually, there are two main Methods for converting seawater into potable water: reverse osmosis or rapid desalination. Both are very demanding of power and possession of Technical science. It sure is amazing way to produce fresh water. However, it is not without concerns from environmentalists who He argues that the process is not just expensive But causes great Damage to marine life which is the base class of Marine food chain through desalination plants. And for every gallon of Gallon or fresh water more of The salty brine is returned to the sea.
Meanwhile, Director of the Institute of Marine Sciences at Middle East Technical University (METU) professor Barış Salihoğlu explained that the fresh water resources are gradually decreasing due to of the increase population and climate change. He noted that there are several stages of Seawater purification is a method used by many countries in Mediterranean basin and the Middle East to meet their water needs.
“First you get the water from the sea, then you have to pre-treat it. There might be pollutants, organisms and lime.” in He. She. After that, the desalination process begins, followed by the purification method to convert it into drinking water, which is great costly. “
Pointing out It is important to choose the point from which the water is collected to perform the operation, Salih Oglu stated that “it is where the thick salty water that comes from out After treatment it will come out ordered of Discuss also “noting that salinity of It could be sewage up to twice Natural salinity, Salihoğlu continued: “We have model Studies have shown that water collected from slightly mid-sea does less damage than deep-sea habitats.”
In confirmation of this, according to new Regulations, such facilities should work with Renewable energy against Carbon emissions, Salihoğlu stressed that first The requirement is to switch to solar and wind energy in Accompanying.
Concerned that Turkey is a country that needs to be very careful about its water resources, and that water conservation can be implemented through regulation policies, Salioglu expressed the possibility of applying sea water purification at the regional level.
Lecturer at the Department of Environmental Engineering, Dokuz Eylul University professor Aziza Ayoul noted this in particular with the development of membrane technologiesReverse osmosis systems have come to the fore in Water desalination of sea water.
methods of Water desalination of Sea water and its treatment of Drinking water from its sea water evolved from evaporation technologies for the membrane technologies. This way you can fully desalinate the water.”
stags addedThese were the facilities operating in many countries of the world for For a long time used in Israel, Saudi Arabia, Spain, the Canary Islands, the United States and Australia, remember that there is a sea water purification facility on Afsha Island in Turkish”.
“If you are a state struggling with water scarcity and investment costs, install This is amazing system Because you don’t have water. the cost Varies by region and energy needs. The higher the capacity of the facility, the lower the initial investment costs. the quality of sea water you get also Important. Various treatments are applied for These facilities. These are the processes that affect the initial investment costs. membrane technology It is developing rapidly. With this improvement, the cost You will also get better. “
touch operating cost Apart from investment, Ayol noted that “ operating cost for 1 cubic meter of Clean water ranges from 30 to 90 cents. we need To purify and treat this water separately. Under development technologiesit’s a possible To obtain energy by using hydrostatic pressure in center current and use He. She in Run the facility because cost It decreases when energy efficient facilities are constructed.”
Saying that Turkey suffers from “water scarcity,” Ayl said the country need for Drinking water 7-8 billion cubic meters per yeardespite this need Maybe met with Existing resources, there are spin-offs problems in coastal areas in particular in Summer, sea water is not available in Such places, indicating that the disinfection method can be applied in such cases.”
regarding the spread use of Sea water treatment technology in Turkish Ayol said: “It is not critical needIt is important for us to use Conventional water resources, to prevent leakage and loss use water resources more economically and efficiently.”
