00:02 - There is a give and take a billion people today
00:11 who are dependent on desalination
00:13 in some way, shape and form on planet Earth.
00:16 And we see that the need for desalinated water
00:20 is just increasing, increasing dramatically.

00:27 What does WaterEyes do?
00:36 Well, we are combining two worlds of technology,
00:41 existing technologies into a new
00:46 and we think a more clever way of doing RO desalination.
00:51 Because we go subsea
00:53 and we utilize the hydrostatic pressure,
00:55 the weight of the water above your head,
00:57 we're able to save energy.
00:59 And we save somewhere between 30 and 40%.
01:01 It depends a little bit on kind of salinity, temperature,
01:05 those kinds of things,
01:06 but give and take 30 to 40% energy reduction.
