I am gradually joining the 21st century! I have just put up on youtube a video from my American business associate Mr Terry Spragg of his demonstration voyage towing six megalitres of drinking water one hundred kilometres through Puget Sound to Seattle - have a look. This is full-on entrepreneurial transformation. No wonder no one talks to us.

We are planning to replicate this in Australia. |

Holy shit that's cool! And you're involved in this venture? Those bags have got to be so much cheaper than transporting fresh water in ships. Heck, I'm not even sure fresh water is transported by ships. This looks to be an amazing invention. Thank you for sharing it and please tell us more about how the world receives this technological marvel. Very cool, Robert.  |

Well thank you very much Mr OConnor.

Submission http://www.lizpenfold.com/PDF/Spragg_Waterbag_Submission.pdf
A good scientific paper is www.solartran.com.au/tullywater.htm
We are planning a new paradigm to build a hydrosphere for the planet. Ocean-based fresh water transport and storage will supersede many land-based water supply technologies such as reverse osmosis desalination, big dams and pipelines. Our submission to Australia's current climate change review has possible strategies and applications. We aim to make waterbag the preferred supplier of new water. |
