Sustainable agriculture / water: Quite a problem to solve for many who rely on groundwater for agriculture - i.e. Saudi Arabia. Levels drop to a point that boreholes near the Red-Sea and the Arabian Sea have high salinity. Drinking water, purely available via Desal plants, are vulnerable to oil spills that can clog membranes etc. We are part of a private consortium planning to use oil tankers with liners to pick up quality drinking water from rivers, filter, disinfect and bottle whilst on the high seas to deliver low-cost water where it is needed. The Equatorial belt offers fertile soil, water that needs global support to produce staple foods. One of the main reasons why I spent my life in Ghana is to reduce the scourge of diseases (Malaria / Cholera) and look at 17 Trillion m3 of lake Volta water ( some is discharged in the rainy season into the Atlantic )
