of the high-pressure pumps, but also because we have carefully designed every element of the project, from pipeline flows to filtration systems, to be as efficient as possible. \u00a0And I\u2019m very proud that we succeeded.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The second special feature is the intake. \u00a0To produce 450,000 cubic meters of desalinated water a day, you have to design a pipeline that can intake double the capacity, because around 50% ends up as brine discharge. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So, in this case we need to design an intake that could handle 900,000 cubic meters a day, which is huge, and continue to do so for the next 25 years.\u00a0 It was a great achievement.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><strong> Do you think the problem of water availability is going to get worse over the next 25
