Kuyisivumelwano sikadeveli: Imisebe ekhazimulayo yokukhanya kwelanga kulesi sikhathi sonyaka ihambisana nomswakama omanzisa umzimba.Kodwa kuthiwani uma lokho kuswakama kungasebenza njengempahla yezidingo zethu zamanzi zamanje nezesikhathi esizayo eSouth Florida nangale kwayo?Kuthiwani uma kungadaleka amanzi ahlanzekile ... emoyeni oshubile?
Imboni ye-niche iye yavela eminyakeni yamuva nje ukwenza lokhu nje, futhi inkampani encane ye-Cooper City, ekwazi ukufinyelela kuwo wonke umswakama ocishayo engake iwufune, ingumdlali obalulekile.
I-Atmospheric Water Solutions noma i-AWS, ihlezi epaki lamahhovisi elingenasithunzi, kodwa kusukela ngo-2012 bebelokhu becubungula ngomkhiqizo ophawuleka kakhulu.Bayibiza nge-AquaBoy Pro.Manje esizukulwaneni sayo sesibili (i-AquaBoy Pro II), isingelinye lamajeneretha amanzi asemkhathini atholakala kumthengi wansuku zonke emakethe ezindaweni ezifana ne-Target noma i-Home Depot.
Ijeneretha yamanzi yase-atmospheric izwakala njengento eqondile ephuma ku-movie ye-sci-fi.Kodwa uReid Goldstein, iphini likamongameli omkhulu we-AWS owathatha izintambo ngo-2015, uthi ubuchwepheshe obuyisisekelo busukela ekuthuthukisweni kwama-air conditioner nama-dehumidifiers."Eqinisweni ubuchwepheshe bokukhipha umswakama kanye nesayensi yesimanje efakwe phakathi."
Ingaphandle ledivayisi eshelelekile lifana nendawo yokupholisa amanzi ngaphandle kwesipholile futhi kubiza ngaphezulu kuka-$1,665.
Isebenza ngokudweba umoya ovela ngaphandle.Ezindaweni ezinomswakama ophezulu, lowo moya uletha umhwamuko omningi wamanzi kanye nawo.Umhwamuko ofudumele uthintana namakhoyili ensimbi engagqwali apholile ngaphakathi, futhi, afana nalawa manzi angenamandla aconsa eyunithi yakho yokupholisa umoya, ukujiya kuyadalwa.Amanzi aqoqwa futhi ajikelezwe ngebhayisikili izingqimba eziyisikhombisa zokuhlunga kwezinga eliphezulu aze aphume empompini emanzini okuphuza aqinisekisiwe e-EPA, ahlanzekile.
Njengaleso sipholile samanzi emsebenzini, inguqulo yasendlini yedivayisi ingakha cishe amalitha amahlanu amanzi okuphuza ngosuku.
Inani lincike kumswakama osemoyeni, nalapho idivayisi itholakala khona.Faka egalaji lakho noma kwenye indawo ngaphandle futhi uzothola okwengeziwe.Yinamathisele ekhishini lakho ne-air conditioner ihamba futhi izokwenza kancane kancane.Ngokusho kukaGoldstein, idivayisi idinga noma yikuphi kusuka ku-28% kuya ku-95% umswakama, kanye nezinga lokushisa eliphakathi kuka-55 degrees kanye no-110 degrees ukuze isebenze.
Cishe izingxenye ezintathu kwezine zamayunithi ayinkulungwane athengisiwe kuze kube manje ziye ezindlini nasemahhovisi lapha noma ezindaweni ezinomswakama ofanayo ezweni lonke, kanye nezindawo zomhlaba ezaziwa ngomoya wazo onzima njengeQatar, Puerto Rico, Honduras kanye neBahamas.
Enye ingxenye yokuthengisa ivela emishinini emikhulu inkampani esaqhubeka nokusebenza ngayo, engenza noma yikuphi ukusuka kumalitha angama-30 kuye kwangama-3,000 amanzi ahlanzekile ngosuku futhi ibe namandla okunikeza izidingo ezimbi kakhulu zomhlaba.
UJuan Sebastian Chaquea ungumphathi wamaphrojekthi womhlaba wonke kwa-AWS.Isihloko sakhe sangaphambilini bekungumphathi wephrojekthi kwa-FEMA, lapho ayesebenzelana khona nokuphathwa kwezindlu, izindawo zokukhosela kanye nezindlu zesikhashana ngesikhathi sezinhlekelele.“Ekulawulweni kwezimo eziphuthumayo, izinto zokuqala okumele uzihlanganise wukudla, indawo yokuhlala namanzi.Kodwa zonke lezo zinto azisizi uma ungenawo amanzi,” usho kanje.
Umsebenzi kaChaquea wangaphambilini wamfundisa ngezinselele zokuthutha amanzi asemabhodleleni.Iyasinda, okwenza kubize ukuthutha ngomkhumbi.Kudingeka futhi ukuthi izidumbu zinyakaze futhi zithuthwe uma isifikile endaweni yenhlekelele, okuvame ukushiya abantu ezindaweni okunzima ukufinyelela kuzo izinsuku eziningi bengafinyeleli.Ibuye ingcolise kalula uma ishiywe elangeni isikhathi eside kakhulu.
U-Chaquea ujoyine i-AWS kulo nyaka ngoba ukholelwa ukuthi ukuthuthukiswa kobuchwepheshe bokukhiqiza amanzi asemoyeni kungasiza ukuxazulula lezo zinkinga - futhi ekugcineni kusindise izimpilo.“Ukwazi ukulethela abantu amanzi kubenza babe nenombolo yokuqala abayidingayo ukuze baphile,” usho kanje.
U-Randy Smith, umkhulumeli weSifunda Sokuphathwa Kwamanzi SaseNingizimu Florida, akakaze ezwe ngomkhiqizo noma ubuchwepheshe.
Kodwa uthe i-SFWD ibihlale isekela izakhamizi ukuthi zifune "amanye amanzi."Ngokwale nhlangano, amanzi angaphansi komhlaba, ngokuvamile aphuma emanzini atholakala emifantwini nasezikhaleni zenhlabathi, isihlabathi namadwala, abala amaphesenti angu-90 amanzi aseNingizimu Florida asetshenziswa ezindlini nasemabhizinisini.
Isebenza njenge-akhawunti yasebhange.Siyahoxa kuyo futhi ishajwa kabusha ngokuna kwemvula.Futhi nakuba lina kakhulu eNingizimu Florida, amandla okuba nesomiso namanzi angaphansi komhlaba angcolile futhi angasebenziseki phakathi nezikhukhula neziphepho ahlala ekhona.
Isibonelo, uma lingani ngokwanele ngenkathi eyomile, izikhulu zivame ukukhathazeka ngokuthi kuzoba nemvula eyanele yini phakathi nenkathi yemvula ukuze silinganisele ama-akhawunti ethu.Ngokuvamile kukhona, naphezu kokulunywa kwezinzipho njengakudala ngo-2017.
Kodwa isomiso esinamandla siye sathinta lesi sifunda, njengaleso sango-1981 esaphoqa uHulumeni uBob Graham ukuba amemezele iNingizimu Florida njengendawo eyinhlekelele.
Nakuba isomiso neziphepho kuhlale kuyinto engenzeka, ukwanda kwesidingo samanzi angaphansi komhlaba eminyakeni ezayo kuqinisekile.
Ngo-2025, izakhamuzi ezintsha eziyizigidi eziyisi-6 kulindeleke ukuthi zenze iFlorida ikhaya lazo futhi ezingaphezu kwesigamu zizohlala eNingizimu Florida, ngokusho kweSFWD.Lokhu kuzokwenyusa isidingo samanzi ahlanzekile ngamaphesenti angama-22.USmith uthe noma ibuphi ubuchwepheshe obungasiza ekongiweni kwamanzi “bubalulekile.”
I-AWS ikholelwa ukuthi imikhiqizo efana neyakhe, edinga amanzi angaphansi komhlaba ukuthi angasebenzi, ilungile ukuze kuncishiswe izidingo zansuku zonke, ezifana namanzi okuphuza noma ukugcwalisa umshini wakho wekhofi.
Kodwa-ke, abaholi babo banombono wokukhulisa ibhizinisi lezidingo ezifana nokukhulisa ezolimo, ukuhlinzeka ngemitshina yokuhlanza izinso, nokuhlinzeka ngamanzi okuphuza ezibhedlela - okunye abakwenzayo kakade.Njengamanje bathuthukisa uphiko olungomahambanendlwana olungakha amalitha angu-1 500 amanzi ngosuku, abathi lungasiza ezindaweni zokwakha, usizo oluphuthumayo kanye nezindawo ezikude.
“Yize wonke umuntu azi ukuthi udinga amanzi ukuze uphile, ayimpahla esabalele kakhulu futhi esetshenziswa kakhulu kunaleyo ebonwa ngamehlo,” kusho uGoldstein.
Lo mbono uyajabulisa kwabanye abathintekayo esikhaleni, njengo-Sameer Rao, uprofesa osizayo wobunjiniyela bemishini eNyuvesi yase-Utah.
Ngo-2017, uRao wayengudokotela weposi e-MIT.Ushicilele iphepha nozakwabo eliphakamisa ukuthi bangakha ijeneretha yamanzi yasemkhathini engasetshenziswa kunoma iyiphi indawo, ngaphandle kokunaka amazinga omswakama.
Futhi, ngokungafani ne-AquaBoy, ngeke idinge ugesi noma izingxenye ezihambayo eziyinkimbinkimbi - ukukhanya kwelanga kuphela.Leli phepha lidale isiphithiphithi emphakathini wesayensi njengoba lo mqondo ububonwa njengesixazululo esingaba khona sokushoda kwamanzi okuthinta izindawo ezomile emhlabeni wonke okulindeleke ukuthi zibe zimbi kakhulu njengoba isimo sezulu siqhubeka nokushisa futhi nenani labantu liqhubeka nokukhula.
Ngo-2018, u-Rao nethimba lakhe baphenduka amakhanda futhi lapho benza i-prototype yomqondo wabo okwazile ukwenza amanzi ophahleni lwendlu e-Tempe, e-Arizona, enomswakama ocishe ube yi-zero.
Ngokocwaningo lukaRao, kunezigidigidi zamalitha amanzi asesimweni somhwamuko osemoyeni.Kodwa-ke, izindlela zamanje zokukhipha lawo manzi, njengobuchwepheshe be-AWS, azikwazi okwamanje ukusiza izifunda ezomile ezivame ukuwadinga kakhulu.
Ngisho nalezo zindawo ezisezifundeni ezinomswakama azinikezwa, njengoba imikhiqizo efana ne-AquaBoy Pro II idinga amandla abizayo ukuze isetshenziswe - into inkampani enethemba lokuthi izokwehla njengoba iqhubeka nokucwenga ubuchwepheshe bayo futhi ibheka enye imithombo yamandla.
Kodwa uRao uyajabula ukuthi imikhiqizo efana ne-AquaBoy ikhona emakethe.Uphawule ukuthi i-AWS ingenye yezinkampani ezimbalwa ezweni lonke ezisebenza ngalobu “buchwepheshe obusafufusa,” futhi uyakwamukela okwengeziwe.“Amanyuvesi mahle kakhulu ekuthuthukiseni ubuchwepheshe, kodwa sidinga izinkampani ukuthi zikubone lokho futhi zenze imikhiqizo,” kusho uRao.
Mayelana nethegi yentengo, uRao uthe kufanele silindele ukuthi izokwehla njengoba kunokuningi ukuqonda mayelana nobuchwepheshe futhi, ekugcineni, isidingo.Uyifanisa nanoma yibuphi ubuchwepheshe obusha osebuke bamangala abanye emlandweni.“Uma sikwazile ukwenza i-air conditioning ibe nezindleko eziphansi, izindleko zalobu buchwepheshe zingehla,” kusho yena.
