Deep Water Proposal to Solve South Africa Water Crisis

Deep Water Research (DWR) has proposed a R1.8bn ($23.87m) investment to solve the water crisis in Nelson Mandela Bay, South Africa.

In a presentation to the Development Bank of South Africa, the marine research company proposed to solve the acute water crisis at the bay by tapping the fresh water source under the seabed.

DWR claimed the fresh-water quantity is large enough to give a consistent supply of fresh water to the bay.

DWR said each water extraction project would cost R1.86bn ($24.46m), and would take about 30 months to supply water.
