How Much Does It Cost to Transport Drinking Water?

Water is essential for maintaining the health and economic stability of communities worldwide. Although water covers 70% of Earth, safe drinking water is rare. Just 3% of the world’s water is fresh water, and two-thirds of that is trapped in glaciers or other inaccessible locations. We need to combat global water scarcity by reducing reliance on conventional water resources and minimizing the use of plastic bottles, which take three times as much water to make as they do to fill. Transporting water leaves a large carbon footprint and increases the cost for consumers. How much does it cost to transport water and how much could you or your business save by switching to more sustainable methods of producing drinkable water? How Is Water Transported? Most homes and businesses in populated Western societies pay a monthly or quarterly fee to be supplied with water for sanitation and drinking. Water companies collect water from local reservoirs, rivers and lakes and transport it to treatment plants via underground pipes. At the plant, the water is filtered and chlorinated to make it safe to bathe in and drink. In some areas, fluoride may be added to improve dental health. The clean water is then pumped along pipes to homes and businesses. Many families and business owners prefer to buy bottled water because they prefer the taste and are reassured by the rigorous filtration process it undergoes. Bottled water may also be used where there is no easy access to tap water — such as at large-scale outdoor events. According to figures released by the United Nations (UN), there are 400 million tones of plastic waste produced globally every year, 36% of which is single-use plastic such as water bottles. In some areas — like the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and more specifically Dubai — the trend for buying bottled water is especially high. Bottled water is often imported from other countries. Evian, for example, is owned by the French multinational Danone and comes from “the …

Nokia and AIS Fibre demonstrate fastest broadband in Asia

17 October 2022: Bangkok, Thailand – Nokia and AIS Fibre announced the first trial of its 25G PON solution in Asia. AIS Fibre in Thailand trialled the technology using its existing optical line terminals (OLT), which has already been rolled out nationwide. The OLT was connected simultaneously to three end user devices with a combined speed of 37.5 Gb/s using a 25G PON optical network terminal (ONT) at 25 Gb/s, an XGS-PON ONT at 10 Gb/s and a G PON ONT at 2.5 Gb/s. All services can be served with the same, single fiber at the same time. AIS Fibre was the first operator to offer 100% optical fiber broadband services in Thailand. With this successful trial concluded, the company is set to realize its ambition to build the most future-proofed fibre optic home Internet network in the country. As new applications like virtual reality gaming and hologram calls enter the mainstream, AIS Fibre will be able to offer the services with super higher speeds and low latency. Since AIS Fibre will be able to run GPON, XGS-PON and 25G PON services on the same fiber line, it can offer customers a full choice of speeds up to 25 Gb/s on the existing platform and without the need to dig up the street and lay new fiber. 25G PON also gives AIS Fibre the opportunity to offer enterprises a 10G + and lower latency replacement to Point to Point (P2P) connections which can be costly and are less scalable. The operator will also be able to use the technology for 5G backhaul, which will become increasing important as it builds more cell sites required for higher frequency 5G. Thanit Chaiyaboonthanit, Acting Managing Director of Fixed Broadband at AIS, said: "AIS Fibre prioritizes innovation that will provide the best services to our customers, and gives us network technology which meets users' future needs in terms of both speed and flexibility. This partnership with Nokia to trial 25G PON technology has yielded favourable results, inspiring us to believe that we can deploy it in the …
