AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

There are disturbances in the hydrological cycle causing restricted water access, leading to economic and ecological problems, particularly affecting agriculture and human consumption, and existing methods of transporting water are inefficient and environmentally harmful.

Method used

An apparatus and system for transporting water using a vessel with a propulsion system, power system, and anti-roll and buoyancy system, capable of autonomously moving freshwater from abundant to scarce locations with a low carbon footprint, and a pumping system for collecting water at a first location and delivering it to a second location.

Benefits of technology

The apparatus and system efficiently transport freshwater over long distances with minimal environmental impact, mitigating the effects of water scarcity and reducing carbon emissions compared to traditional methods.

Abstract

The embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an apparatus, a system and a method for collecting, transporting and delivering water. Some embodiments relate to a vessel for transporting water, the vessel comprising an outer wall for defining an internal plenum for receiving the water, the outer wall also defining a front end, a back end and a bulkhead port therebetween for providing fluid communication across the outer wall; a propulsion system that is configured to move the vessel; an power system supported upon the outer wall that is configured to capture energy and power the propulsion system; and an anti-roll and buoyancy system that is positioned about the outer wall and below the power system. Other embodiments relate to a pumping system that may be used with the vessel described herein, as a system that can perform the methods described herein.
