considering the interlinking of the rivers project in India can have disastrous consequence with regards to Bangladesh i would like people to have a positive & open minded discussion on other alternatives source of water cultivating project by which Bangladesh can safe it self from the repercussions of the inter linking of river project by India ,now since Bangladesh cannot stop India from the river linking project because of it's strength & its weight in the international scene , how ever there are ways by which Bangladesh can save it self from the disastrous consequences of it ,Allah the Merciful has granted the human mind with great talents & intelligence & he has given us the knowledge of science & technology in our mind
one of these knowledge being known as the "Desalinization plants" like the eg of Dyke's used by the Netherlands which has protected large amount of it's lands from being submerged by the rising sea level water, research in this field can help Bangladesh cope with regards to its threat from the rising sea level etc, & like the building of dams etc's might help it against floods (though research needs to be done in these field as well ) i believe there should be ways by which countries can protect it self against water warfare this in my humble opinion is very important as regards to with the case of Bangladesh, remember Allah is Just & Kind & He helps those who helps themselves so if the Bangladeshi brothers are serious to protect their country against water warfare then it is my belief that no one can stop them from doing so, resilience is the KEYWORD here so with this i present to you the idea of the
"desalinization plant"
(as for the requirement of energy to run these there are many ways to it, for eg hydro-power,wind energy,nuclear energy ,BIO-energy,soler energy etc these fields needs to be researched thoroughly )
now what is desalinization ?
Desalination, desalinization refers to any of several processes that remove some amount of salt and other minerals from saline water. More generally, desalination may also refer to the removal of salts and minerals,[1] as in soil desalination.[2]
please pay attention ,the following is very important & might help in as regards to with the case of Bangladesh:
Salt water is desalinated in order to produce fresh water that is suitable for human consumption or irrigation. One potential by-product of desalination is table salt. Desalination is used on many seagoing ships and submarines. Most of the modern interest in desalination is focused on developing cost-effective ways of providing fresh water for human use. Along with recycled wastewater, this is one of the few non-rainfall-dependent water sources. Large-scale desalination typically uses large amounts of energy and specialized, expensive infrastructure, making it more expensive than fresh water from conventional sources such as rivers or groundwater.[3]
Desalination is particularly relevant to countries like Australia which traditionally have relied on collecting rainfall behind dams to provide their drinking water supplies.
According to the International Desalination Association, in 2009 14,451 desalination plants operated worldwide, producing 59.9e6 cubic metres (2.12×109 cu ft) per day, a year on year increase of 12.3%.[4] The world's largest desalination plant is the Jebel Ali Desalination Plant (Phase 2) in the United Arab Emirates.
Saudi Arabia
The Saline Water Conversion Corporation of Saudi Arabia provides 50% of the municipal water in the Kingdom, operates a number of desalination plants, and has contracted $1892 million [79] to a Japanese-South Korean consortium to build a new facility capable of producing a billion litres a day, opening at the end of 2013. They currently operate approximately 14 plants in the Kingdom; one example at Shoaiba cost $1060 million and produces 450 million litres a day.[80]
Spain
Lanzarote is the easternmost of the autonomous Canary Islands. It is of volcanic origin and has limited water supplies. A private, commercial desalination plant was installed in 1964. This served the whole island and enabled the tourism industry. In 1974 the venture was injected with investments from local and municipal governments and a larger infrastructure was put in place. In 1989 INALSA[81] was formed as the Lanzarote Island Waters Consortium.
A prototype Seawater Greenhouse was constructed in Tenerife in 1992.[82]
El Prat, near Barcelona, has a desalination plant completed in 2009 and meant to provide water to the Barcelona metropolitan area, specially during the periodic severe droughts that put the drinking water provision under serious stress.
United Arab Emirates
(Abu Dhabi)The Jebel Ali desalination plant in Dubai is a dual-purpose facility that uses multi-stage flash distillation and is capable of producing 300e6 cubic metres (1.1×1010 cu ft) of water per year. By comparison the largest desalination plant in the United States is located in Tampa Bay, Florida, and operated by Tampa Bay Water, which began desalinating 34.7 million cubic meters of water per year in December 2007.[83] The Tampa Bay plant runs at around 12% the output of the Jebel Ali Desalination Plants. The largest desalination plant in South Asia is the Minjur Desalination Plant near Chennai in India which produces 36.5 million cubic meters of water per year.[84][85]
Taweelah A1 Power and Desalination Plant has an output 385,000,000 litres (85,000,000 imp gal; 102,000,000 US gal) per day of clean water.
Umm Al Nar Desalination Plant has an output of 394,000,000 litres (87,000,000 imp gal; 104,000,000 US gal) per day of clean water.
Fujairah F2 is to be completed by July 2010 will have a water production capacity of 492,000,000 litres (108,000,000 imp gal; 130,000,000 US gal) per day.[86]
A Seawater Greenhouse was constructed on Al-Aryam Island, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates in 2000.
[edit] United KingdomThe
first large scale water desalination plant in the United Kingdom, the Thames Water Desalination Plant, was built in Beckton, east London for Thames Water by Acciona Agua.[87]
[edit] United States
El Paso (Texas) Desalination PlantBrackish groundwater has been treated at the El Paso plant since around 2004. It produces 27,500,000 US gallons (104,000,000 l; 22,900,000 imp gal) of fresh water daily (about 25% of total freshwater deliveries) by reverse osmosis.[88]
[edit] Tampa Bay Water Desalination Project
The Tampa Bay Water Desalination project was originally a private venture led by Poseidon Resources. This project was delayed by the bankruptcy of Poseidon Resources' successive partners in the venture, Stone & Webster, then Covanta (formerly Ogden) and its principal subcontractor Hydranautics. Stone & Webster crashed in June 2000 declaring bankruptcy. Covanta and Hydranautics joined in 2001, but Covanta failed to complete construction bonding and the Tampa Bay Water agency purchased the project on May 15, 2002, underwriting project financing. Tampa Bay Water then contracted with Covanta Tampa Construction, which produced a project that failed performance tests. After its parent went bankrupt, Covanta also filed for bankruptcy prior to performing renovations that would have satisfied contractual agreements. This resulted in nearly six months of litigation. In 2004, Tampa Bay Water hired a renovation team, American Water/Acciona Aqua, to bring the plant to its original, anticipated design. The plant was deemed fully operational in 2007[27] and is designed to run at a maximum capacity of 25 million US gallons (95,000 m3) per day.[89] Nevertheless, as of 2009 problems limited it to producing only about half that amount (14 million US gallons (53,000 m3).[90]
[edit] Yuma Desalting Plant (Arizona)
The Yuma Desalting Plant was constructed under authority of the Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Act of 1974 to treat saline agricultural return flows from the Wellton-Mohawk Irrigation and Drainage District. The treated water is intended for inclusion in water deliveries to Mexico thereby preserving a like amount of water in Lake Mead. Construction of the plant was completed in 1992 and it has operated on two occasions since then. The plant has been maintained, but largely not operated due to sufficient water supply conditions on the Colorado River.[91] An agreement was reached in April 2010 between the Southern Nevada Water Authority, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, the Central Arizona Project and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation to underwrite the cost of running the plant in a year long pilot project.[92]
[edit] Trinidad and Tobago
The Republic of Trinidad and Tobago uses desalination to free up more of the island's water supply for drinking purposes. The desalination facility, opened in March 2003, is considered to be the first of its kind. It was the largest desalination facility in the Americas and processes 28,800,000 US gallons (109,000,000 l; 24,000,000 imp gal) of water a day at the price of $2.67 per 1,000 US gallons (3,800 l; 830 imp gal).[93] This facility will be located at Trinidad's Point Lisas Industrial Estate, a park of more than 12 companies in various manufacturing and processing functions and will allow for easy access to water for both factories and residents in the country.[94]
