A Taste of 1）Thar Desert’s New Solar Pumped Water
Water is a precious 2）commodity in this desert region of Thar. Women have to walk for miles to fetch water from underground wells， and this water is often 3）contaminated and 4）brackish. Now the government has initiated one of the biggest solar-powered 5）desalination plants here in Thar Desert. They’ve installed these European pumping machines to get underground water out of there and they’re storing it in these huge tanks. They are pumping this water through the pipelines for storage， and…which is then filtered and provided to local villages and local towns.
Well， inside the plant the underground 6）saline water is sent into these blue tanks for initial filtration. Afterwards they go through this technology here. But the real microlevel filtration takes place in these wide vessels that use American 7）membrane technology. The process is called 8）reverse osmosis. It essentially uses a lot of pressure to filter this water. And maybe we can just take a little sip of this water and see how it tastes like. Tastes fine to me.
水是塔尔沙漠地区的珍贵日用品。女人们必须步行至数英里外的地下井取水，所取得的还经常是受到污染的咸水。如今，当地政府在塔尔沙漠这里建造了太阳能淡化水设施，这是世界上规模最大的太阳能滤水设备之一。他们安装了这些从欧洲进口的水泵，先抽取地下水，再把水存在这些大水池里；然后利用管道抽水，将它贮存起来……接着进行过滤，供本地村镇使用。
在工厂里面，地下咸水被送入这些蓝色的水箱进行初步过滤，随后要通过这里的技术装置。不过，真正意义上的微过滤是在这些大型管道中完成的，采用了来自美国的膜技术——这就是所谓的“反渗透”，其实就是通过巨大的压力对水体进行过滤。也许我们可以来尝一小口，看看这水的味道如何。我觉得还不错呢。
