The cost of transportation, which depends on distance and flow, is much smaller than the cost of conventional solutions (desalination, transportation by boats, onshore canal or pipeline …). Submariver® applies to a large array of projects, from one hundred to more than one thousand of kilometers and from several cubic meters per second to several dozens. On numerous projects that we have studied, the Submariver® system is more than twice more economical than conventional solutions.
Every infrastructure project is submitted to a specific environmental impact appraisal, which allows determining the acceptable catchment from an ecological standpoint. With a view to limiting the downstream impact on ecosystems, only a small fraction of the residual flow is subtracted.
Our system uses up much less energy than conventional methods like desalination.
The system Submariver� has been positively appraised by numerous environmental specialists.
