Question

Please write a one-page paper on the following question: Many suggest that a scarce item in the future will be water. If you could think of an inexpensive way to get water from places of abundance to places where it is needed for drinking, farming, and other uses, such as fracking, you could become a wealthy intermediary. Pipelines are an alternative, but could you freeze the water and ship it by train or truck? Could you use ships to tow icebergs to warmer climates? What other means of transporting water might there be?

Fresh water is vital resource. Can nanotechnology be used to help solve this? Is it possible to use new technologies to find new sources such as icebergs as a source of freshwater? What obstacles - technological, social, environmental & political - do you foresee for such endeavors?

00:02 All right.
00:03 So it looks like you have a question about where to begin on your discussion, question about nanotechnology.
00:09 So i went out on and did a google search on google images, and i found some interesting breakthroughs that they're working on.
00:19 One of them is already in place.
00:21 So they're already using nanotechnology to filter contaminated water.
00:26 So the picture is showing these contaminants, these particles of blue and blue.
00:32 Green here.
00:34 They're running through a really fine filter that's beyond microscopic.
00:40 It's nanoscopic.
00:42 And it's removing these particles in creating or causing us to have pure drinking water on the other side of that filter.
00:51 So that's something that they've been doing for about 10 years now and it's continuing to expand.
00:57 So filtering contaminated water is definitely something they're already doing.
01:03 This one is something that they've been working on, and this one's a little bit more into the future.
01:10 So nanotechnology to destroy cancers, tumors, or fight disease.
01:15 So this is basically robots, small robots, that seek out cancer cells...
