WATER. No known planet has as much of it as the Earth. Even today, we do not fully understand how it was formed 4 billion years ago. However, one thing is clear. It is the basis of our life. We humans have been living on our earth for over 200,000 years. In recent decades, however, we have seriously disturbed our basis of existence. Many sources of water have been used up, and the remaining resources are so polluted that in many places there would be no water available without the use
of technology. Despite all these efforts, over half a billion people already have no access to drinking water. Today we are driven by the belief that only technological developments for reuse and purification can provide a solution to increasing water shortages without fully knowing our own natural resources and using them wisely. We have found the largest and most natural source of drinking water in the world, and we have made it accessible. POLE WATER.
SOURCE
The source of our lives. It is pure, brilliant and original. It is full of adventure, with a unique history. It came to our Earth from other stars, comets or meteorites. Nice story? We think so too! It has the power to awaken life, as if came from another world. Water. We give it our all, meeting the biggest challenges, so that every drop of pure energy reaches you.
DRINKING WATER
The Antarctic is the largest freshwater reservoir on earth. Every year, icebergs break off with a total volume of about 2,300 cubic kilometres. Under the influence of currents, many icebergs drift into the South Atlantic Ocean and melt in the open sea – with no apparent benefit. Fresh water released in this process could cover the annual drinking water requirements of the world’s population a hundred times over.
HARVESTING
For harvesting drinking water, table icebergs are used. Only beyond the 60th parallel. Compliance with all the environmental requirements of the Antarctic Treaty is our top priority. We are going a step further. Although we are transporting water over water, we take the environmental and safety requirements of the oil and gas industry as our reference standard. To minimise risks and to achieve the highest efficiency in the harvesting of drinking water, we concentrate on small units that can be transported logistically within a reasonable time. In doing so, we use the most modern technologies from the fields of space technology, offshore logistics and water technology that are available on the world market. Moreover, we are continuously developing our systems.
LOGISTICS
SAFETY
Safety is always of the utmost importance. In every context. Safety with technology, scheduling, environmental protection, occupational safety and economic processes. To achieve the highest level of safety, we work with the most experienced people and the leading operators in the relevant fields; we subject ourselves to the strictest conditions and always place the safety of people and nature first. From the very start, a project involves the sustainable use of resources – safety through accuracy and efficiency. The entire logistics of the project up to the final water harvesting is monitored by a safety system 24/7. Not just on board, but also using space technology – to know what will happen before it happens. We always and permanently use marine diesel fuel – not just in harbour – for the sake of our good conscience, our families and the future of our friends and their friends.
WATERSTATION
We use the WATER STATION to pump water from the icebergs – up to several tens of thousands of litres per second – into our floating WATER BAGS. It is then cleaned and filtered to the most demanding standards. Then it is analysed, continuously, 24/7. We investigate every piece of information thoroughly because we subject ourselves to the highest safety standards. Technologically, thanks to SmartWater technology, we are able to analyse every drop of water in milliseconds, even before it reaches the WATER BAGS. Information about the water quality, flow rates, age, and much more is published live at www.polewater.com. We do this because we are sure that we doing the right thing, because we do everything transparently and subject ourselves to the most important thing – your opinion.
A small floating, mobile unit, equipped with the latest water and analysis technology. To harvest, filter and permanently monitor the water – to achieve the highest quality standards and what we all want in the end – pure and safe drinking water. The WATER STATION is configured in such a way that we can position it anywhere on earth. This means that we do not tow icebergs around the world unnecessarily, if it can be avoided. After all, we do not want to go down in history as an iceberg logistics company.
DESTINATIONS
We start with our first water station in Africa – South Africa. To be exact, “near” South Africa – far out on the open sea. From the water station, the harvested drinking water is continuously transported to the regions that need it – commercial markets, disaster areas, regions suffering from water shortage. Thanks to the mobile and replicable water station, we are not tied to one place. We can move locations or generate drinking water in several places around the world at the same time – wherever we need pure and safe water.
WATER FOR EVERYTHING
Due to its versatility, POLE WATER can be used in many ways. It supplies people who do not have safe access to drinking water, it gives short-term help in disaster areas that are suffering from temporary shortages due to their situation. In addition, POLEWATER is the finest drinking water and by its nature ranks as the most outstanding variant among the world’s water types.
INVESTMENTS
For water and friends of the environment. For those who wish to combat water poverty. For those for whom the best is not good enough. For those who see themselves as part of a great adventure – for themselves, their fellow human beings or just to tell exciting stories to their grandchildren. For a sustainable investment with high returns, which incidentally produces the best water in the world.
Invest in whatever you want. In drinking water, in premium water, in environmental protection, in adventure and the future, in innovation and technology, growth, technology, media and science. Or in everything at the same time. Above all, invest in a project to combat global water shortages. Support us, win for yourself and help the world, so that our worst apprehensions do not become real.
POLEWATER ASSISTANCE
After a natural disaster, the mains supplies of water, electricity and sanitary facilities are often disrupted in a sensitive and life-threatening way. POLE WATER Assistance delivers water for emergency relief. Using 25 and 50 million litre units of drinking water, life-sustaining quantities of drinking water can be transported to the target area in question within a few hours and days. All we need is a harbour or section of a beach. Following a natural disaster, a Request for Assistance from the government of the affected country is proclaimed worldwide via the UN and the EU. POLE WATER Assistance offers its help and abilities according to the emergency. Then it is decided whether the service is needed.
POLEWATER Assistance is working towards EMT certification.
